Eye on UMSL: First steps

by UMSL Daily | Jun 16, 2016

Incoming Opportunity Scholars Kyra Chappell, Danielle Friz, Jalen James-Patterson, Madison Koogler and Mickkell Abrams mark their first steps into budding college careers.

The incoming class of Opportunity Scholars stand on the steps outside the Pierre Laclede Honors College at the University of Missouri–St. Louis. They are (from left to right) Kyra Chappell, Danielle Friz, Jalen James-Patterson, Madison Koogler and Mickkell Abrams.

The moment marks their first steps into budding college careers at UMSL, thanks, in part, to their all-expenses-paid scholarship.

The occasion was caught by UMSL photographer August Jennewein and is the latest to be featured in Eye on UMSL.
