Criteria for the Dameris Bagwell Scholarship were established to uphold her outstanding academic and extracurricular accomplishments, according to 澳门六合彩历史记录 Journalism Department Director Professor Mohammad Siddiqi.

鈥淒ameris was a force in the classroom and on campus,鈥� said Siddiqi. 鈥淭he criteria faculty set for the scholarship reflect that.鈥�

鈥淒ameris was a stellar student, very proficient and well accomplished in her field.
