Emilia was one of three students selected by the EPOL (Education Policy, Organization and Leadership) faculty and the College of Education’s Academic Programs Committee this fall to receive the Riechmann Award. This award is a scholarship presented on the basis of merit. The scholarship is funded by University of Illinois alumna Dr. Donna Riechmann. In addition to the monetary award and the honor of being recognized at the College of Education Student Recognition Event, the three award recipients had the opportunity to virtually meet with Dr. Riechmann to introduce themselves, ask career-relevant questions, and learn from her vast pool of experience.
