Noelle Larino, a rising junior at Marymount University, was awarded the Hester B. Provensen and Jean C. Miller Scholarship by the Capital Speakers Club of Washington, D.C., at its end-of-year luncheon June 6. The merit-based scholarship is awarded annually to a woman majoring in communication, speech or a similar field of study.<\/p>\n
“Noelle is very dedicated and hard-working,” said her advisor, Dr. Megan McFarlane<\/a>, assistant professor of communication. McFarlane noted that Larino competed against students across the D.C. area as a sophomore and that winners are typically juniors.<\/p>\n A communication major with a minor in public history from Great Meadows, N.J., Larino maintains a 4.0 GPA and is in Marymount’s honors program. During her sophomore year, she served on the Campus Ministry<\/a> Leadership Team and was selected among all honors students and Student Government Association<\/a> representatives to moderate an MU faculty panel on the #metoo movement. She presented a paper at the 2018 Virginia Association of Communication Arts and Sciences Conference at George Mason University in April.<\/p>\n
