Thank you so much for your scholarship throughout my undergraduate career at the University of Washington. Your support and generosity have gifted me with valuable opportunities and educational endeavors I would not have otherwise had. This year, I was involved in the Senior Class Gift as Co-Chair, and in the Dean’s Advisory Council for students where I can give back to future students. I am proud to say that on June 11, 2022, I will be graduating Cum Laude with the Public Health-Global Health - Health Education & Promotion and Sociology majors. Thank you so much again and I look forward to connecting with you in the near future.
Warm regards,
Anna Nguyen
