Student Spotlight : Donnaree Rigg

Donnaree Rigg
"My name is Donnaree Rigg, a Computer Information Systems Major, in the College of Business Administration (COBA). I am a recipient of the James 'Jimmy' Brown Scholarship, SSU Foundation Scholarship, and COBA Advisory Board Scholarship. Being a recipient enables me to strive and continue along the path of leadership, scholarship and community involvement."

"It is in my belief that a scholarship not only assists students financially, but also it gives them reinforcement that no good character goes unrecognized. Words cannot explain the effects of being a scholarship recipient."

Donnaree just completed a summer internship with TIAA-CREF, a prestigious financial services company, and has accepted a full-time position that begins after she graduates May 2015!

She attributes the scholarship she received, and the opportunities it afforded her, to getting one step closer to reaching her
"dream of becoming an IT professional doing project management or working in corporate America."
