Howell Foundation was recognized as a Cum Laude in their 2014 Honor Roll of Scholarship Donors. It was certainly a pleasure celebrating the gift of education with 2014 UCSD scholars Angela Zuo, Erica Birkholz, Stephanie Myers and Orysya Stus; all making progress and well on their way to advocating for women's health through their fields of study.
