On Friday, April 12, 2024 Skip and Carrie Gordon visited with Robin F. Baker (MBA ’24), Jill Dannis (MBA/MS ’24, Erb), and Elijah Forrester (MBA/MS ’24, Erb)–recipients of this year’s $7,500 Gordon Scholarships. Also in attendance were B+I Faculty Director Jerry Davis, B+I Managing Director Cat Johnson, B+I Associate Director of Marketing & Communications Glenn Bugala, B+I Associate Director of Student & Community Engagement Haley Billey, and Ross Associate Director of Development Victor Senn.
After a discussion between the Gordons and Ross staff on the status of the Scholarship program through the development lens, the pair met with the soon-to-graduate students to learn more about what they’ve done at Ross and what they plan to do going forward with their careers. Mr. Forrester intends to work on sustainability in the aviation industry, Ms. Dannis will work on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) at a tech company, and Ms. Baker will work on delivering healthcare to minority populations.
