Maia Wen

UAA alumna Maia Wen was recently awarded the Fulbright Student Scholarship, but her path to earning the prestigious award hasn’t been easy.

"It seems so serendipitous considering how many paths my life could have taken. I am just so grateful for everyone who’s helped me so far. I’ll never forget all the assistance I’ve received, and I intend to always pay it forward by giving back." — Maia Wen, Psychology, College of Arts & Sciences
Andres Antuna

Andres Antuna was recently awarded Humanity in Action’s John Lewis Fellowship. This July, he will travel to Atlanta, Georgia, and spend one month learning from leaders who have fought for human rights.

"At the end of the day, the only thing that’s really exceptional about me is the number of people who had faith that I was able to do something meaningful." — Andres Antuna, Political Science, College of Arts & Sciences
Svetlana "Lana" Suvorova

Each year, UAA's Diversity Action Council celebrates students' efforts in enhancing diversity at UAA through their volunteerism and community engagement. Five students reflect on their time at UAA, and how being engaged has made all the difference in their undergraduate experience.

"I just wanted to do as much in my college years to reach my goals and pursue my dreams, which is why UAA became a part of my journey." — Svetlana "Lana" Suvorova, Finance, College of Business and Public Policy

 

Benjamin Miller

With undiagnosed learning disabilities, school was hard for Benjamin Miller. But this summer, the Honors College sophomore is studying abroad in South Africa as a recipient of the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship.

"I thought wow, that’s a lot of tuition, that’s a whole degree." — Benjamin Miller, Psychology, College of Arts & Sciences
Amanda Magnusen

Navigating scholarships can be stressful. As a lead coach for the UAA eWolf ePortfolio program, Amanda Magnusen is more than familiar with that feeling, inspiring her to donate her own scholarship.

"I wanted to help those people, the students whose parents work two jobs, and they work two jobs, and they’re supporting their entire family." — Amanda Magnusen, Legal Studies, College of Health
Jeff Jewett

At Spring Back Utah, owner Jeff Jewett and his wife, Jenny, turn thousands of mattresses into much-needed jobs. It's mattresses with a mission, benefiting people and the planet alike, and it all ties back to the second chance Jeff found at UAA.

"Being able to stay in school, stay enrolled in the midst of my imperfectness, and continue forward, I don’t take that for granted." — Jeff Jewett, Psychology, College of Arts & Sciences
