Sandra Gonzalez '09 Awarded Kemper Scholarship

Sandra Gonzalez '09

In 2006, Pitzer College student Sandra Gonzalez '09 was awarded a Kemper Scholarship. Gonzalez was also one of the College's twelve students to be awarded a Núñez Scholarship (named in honor of Fabian Núñez, a 1997 graduate of Pitzer and Speaker of the California State Assembly). Gonzalez is planning a concentration in economics while at Pitzer College.

In the academic year 2006-2007, Gonzalez served serve as the Finance and Communications Coordinator for the Student Investment Committee (Event Coordinator, 2005-06); a Sponsor for Chicano Latino Student Affairs (CLSA); and served on Student Senate.

In 2004, Pitzer College was selected by the James S. Kemper Foundation as one of fifteen partner colleges in the Kemper Scholar Program. The Kemper Scholar Program is one of the oldest programs of its kind. Colleges may participate only by invitation from the Foundation.

Kemper Scholarship
The mission of the James S. Kemper Foundation is to promote liberal arts education as an ideal preparation for life and work, especially in administration and business. Kemper Scholars will receive annual scholarships during the sophomore, junior and senior years of college. They also receive stipends for work in major nonprofit organizations in Chicago during the summer following the sophomore year. After discussions with Foundation staff, Scholars will be placed in full-time administrative positions where they can learn about financial management, organizational strategy, fund raising and non-profit administration.
