A pair of Farmer School of Business supply chain and operations majors, Lexi Laskonis and Marissa Marquardt, have been selected for the AWESOME Excellence in Education Scholarship from AWESOMELeaders.org. Lexi and Marissa join 18 other recipients from universities nationwide in receiving this honor this year.

The AWESOME Excellence in Education Scholarship was created in 2013 to provide university women enrolled in a full-time supply chain degree program with the opportunity to attend the AWESOME Symposium and other networking opportunities in addition to $5,000 tuition assistance.

Lexi and Marissa have been heavily involved in WISE (Women Impacting Supply Chain Excellence) programming and traveled with Center for Supply Chain Excellence director Monique Murfield to the WISE Leadership Symposium at the University of Arkansas this year. Both are active leaders in the Supply Chain Management Association as well. 

This is the second year in a row that two FSB students have won, with recent graduates Emily McAtee and Katelyn Hartings having won it last year.
