Dean’s list
Berlin resident Tameya Dashae Tingle, a Salisbury University student majoring in Respiratory Therapy, was named to the university’s dean’s list for the spring semester.
To achieve the dean’s list distinction, students must carry a full program of at least four courses, have a quality point average of 3.5 or greater out of a possible 4.0 and carry no single grade lower than a C during the college career.
During the fall semester, Tingle will be doing her clinicals at Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury.
Scholarships
Perdue Farms, through the Franklin P. and Arthur W. Perdue Foundation, has awarded $70,000 in scholarships to 14 children of Perdue associates and independent contract farmers.
Two local students received scholarships.
Owen Dennis, son of Kent Dennis of Willards, and Elizabeth Bell of Bishopville, will attend the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to pursue a degree in engineering. He enjoys the areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and feels these disciplines make the world a better place.
Erin Smith, daughter of Dean and Robin Smith of Bishopville, will attend Christopher Newport University to pursue a degree in radiation. She plans to complete a medical degree in radiology and help in the accurate diagnosis of patient illnesses.
The Foundation, the charitable giving arm of Perdue Farms, awarded each student a $5,000 scholarship. The Foundation was established in 1957 by company founder Arthur W. Perdue and is funded through the estates of Arthur W. Perdue and Frank Perdue. The Foundation has awarded scholarships to children of its associates and independent farm family partners every year since 1983.
