Bellin College hosted its annual Scholarship Salute event on Wednesday, Sept. 27 at the KI Convention Center in Green Bay. This event provides donors the opportunity to meet the recipient(s) of their generous scholarship contributions and allows students the chance to thank donors for helping to fund their education and pursue their dream of becoming a nurse, radiologic technician, or diagnostic medical sonographer.
The evening comprised of a social hour and a short program recognizing donors and recipients. During the program, a student from each bachelor degree program shared their gratitude on behalf of all recipients.
