HAILIE MENTZ
I received the Benjamin A. Gilman Scholarship to help fund my study abroad in Dublin, Ireland over the summer of 2022. Because I received this scholarship and completed all the program requirements, I was granted non-competitive eligibility for the civil service.
I had the honor of meeting the donor of one of my study abroad scholarships that I received. I was beyond thankful for the opportunity to meet Nancy Hammond and thank her and her family for helping fund my study abroad.
I was asked to speak at the annual Powering Dreams Celebration of Donors & Scholars in September of 2021. I got the opportunity to meet and thank many prestigious donors, including the donor of a business scholarship I received that semester.
One of my coworkers and I had the honor of having coffee and speaking with Dr. John Jasinski, the President of Northwest Missouri State University, because we raised over $10,000 each in donations for the University at our Call Center job. During my time at the Call Center, my team and I raised over $200,000 in donations for the University.
I was asked by the Alumni Association at Northwest if I would be the face of their student feature mail appeal for the Fall of 2021 because of my high involvement and success at Northwest thus far. This was sent out to thousands of alumni and friends of the University to gain support for Alumni Giving.
I received this global collaboration certificate for completing X-Culture, a course in which I worked with 5 other students from around the world to create a high-quality business plan for a multinational company. I was my team's leader and editor.
