Scholarship Spotlight - Elisabeth Danner
University of Baltimore student, Elisabeth Danner, is proud to be paying her own way through school and grateful for the scholarship she's received through the University of Baltimore Foundation. An undergraduate student in the Corporate Communications program, Danner says that her scholarship gives her "peace of mind" as it helps ensure that she can continue her education and maintain financial independence. The scholarship she received for the 2009-2010 academic year, one of several funded through the Robert W. Schaefer Undergraduate Scholarship Endowment Fund, was established by UB alumnus and donor Robert W. Schaefer , B.S., '55, to help support students like Danner who are enrolled in undergraduate programs in the Yale Gordon College of Liberal Arts or the Merrick School of Business. "Receiving this scholarship makes me feel like someone knows how important it is to help students finance their education. Just knowing someone cares makes me want to go the extra mile and achieve my goals," says Danner.

Wright Global Scholars program - Chile trip
In an effort to provide students with a first-hand experience of global business successes, last January, Pitta, along with 14 M.B.A. students, left Baltimore's snow-covered streets to spend a week in sunny, pre-earthquake Chile. They arrived in Santiago-not to relax and enjoy the summer weather south of the equator, but to participate in an intense academic experience that introduced them to successful Chilean business practices.
