Doyle is second-year Scott Scholar at Northeast
Some academically motivated and engaged students at Northeast Community College were welcomed this month into a scholarship program sponsored by the Suzanne & Walter Scott Foundation.
Twenty-four students were welcomed as First-year Scott Scholars, enabling them to take advantage of regular academic and social activities. The program also provides scholarship funds, helping students to develop close friendships with fellow Scott Scholars, and take advantage of cultural enrichment activi- ties through field trips and guest speakers, among other things.
Lisa Goodwin of Omaha, assistant director of Education for the Suzanne and Walter Scott Foundation, welcomed the students. She said the students will get out of the program whatever they put into it.
Calvin Sisson of Omaha, president & CEO of the Suzanne & Walter Scott Foundation, shared some background on Walter Scott Jr., including his desire to improve the lives of everyone.
Jessi Doke of Norfolk, a professional coach and founder of Mind Set Go Coaching, was the keynote speaker. Doke provided inspiration, encouraging the students to think about what they want to do with their lives and who they want to be.
Kara Woehler is the director of the Scott Pathway Scholarship Program at Northeast, now in its second year.
Among the second-year Scott Scholars is James Doyle of Osmond, majoring in information technology. James is a 2024 Osmond High School graduate and the son of Boyd and April Doyle.
