The WAA - Seattle Chapter 2008 Scholorship Fund was awarded to Chelsea Harrington. She has sent us the following note.

Dear Wisconsin Alumni - Seattle Chapter

Thank you so much for the generous scholarship you awarded me for the 2008-09 school year. I am grateful for the scholarship and wanted to thank the alumni chapter for continuing to fund this worthy cause.

Fall semester has been extremely busy, but I'm loving UW-Madison even more my sophomore year. I am taking a variety of interesting classes, such as microeconomics, African history, journalism, and women's studies. I have been fortunate to have great professors who are willing to open their doors to me during office hours and are always happy to answer any questions as well as offer constructive feedback. I plan to apply to the Wisconsin School of Business undergraduate program in early 2009 and I'm crossing my fingers that I'll be notified of acceptance by June.

In terms of extracurriculars, I work on the scholarship committee at my sorority, Delta Gamma. Recently, I was nominated for the outstanding Greek Scholar Award and also interviewed for a position on the Wisconsin Alumni Student Board and should be hearing about that in the near future. I was also inducted into the Madison chapter of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars in September.

All in all, life as a Badger has been fantastic! I'm gearing up for finals and looking forward to coming home to Seattle for winter break to catch up with family and friends.

Thank's again for your generosity,

Chelsea Harrington
