Thank you to the Trinity Washington Selection Committee for all its work in ensuring the continuity of MMEG’s Trinity Washington University Program. The Trinity Program is unique among MMEG’s programs in that its grants are open to all Trinity's women students, irrespective of nationality and immigration status. The program was originally established to acknowledge MMEG’s location in Washington DC and it is hoped that MMEG recipients will continue to contribute to the local community.
The Selection Committee is made up of seven members, from six different countries, with varied backgrounds and a range of experience: international development, economics, nursing, sociology, business management and financial markets. Their collective expertise has been invaluable in overseeing the selection process.
This year the MMEG grant is awarded to a candidate in the field of occupational therapy who demonstrates ambition, vision and perseverance in the face of great personal adversity. She exemplifies the values MMEG strives to support and will doubtless be able to translate her student success into her future professional world in Washington, DC.
The Selection Committee, as always, played an essential role in this process of finding the right candidate. The MMEG Board offers our deepest gratitude for the volunteers’ work, and we look forward to our continuing collaboration.
