Each year, 35 Syracuse University Remembrance Scholarships are awarded to undergraduate students on the basis of distinguished academic achievement, citizenship, and service. Three Falk College students have been awarded this prestigious honor for the 2015-16 academic year:
Julie Bengis, Sport Management
Chistina LiPuma, Nutrition
Hannah Visnosky, Sport Management
“To be named a Remembrance Scholar is one of the highest honors at Syracuse University that recognizes students’ outstanding academic achievement and service, which is consistent with the Falk College’s priorities for all students. We are very proud of Julie, Christina and Hannah—and all of this year’s scholars,” notes Diane Lyden Murphy, dean, Falk College.
The Remembrance Scholarships were established by Syracuse University to honor and remember the 35 students studying abroad with Syracuse University who were among the 270 men, women, and children killed in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland on December 21, 1988.
