BROWSER Letters to the Editor The following are excerpts of thank you notes from AHETEMS scholarship recipients. “Thank you AHETEMS for giving me this wonderful scholarship. I really am thankful and grateful for all the opportunities that I will have and have already gotten. Thank you so much.” — Shiann Mayorga, recipient of the first Academic Excellence & Leadership Award “I want to say thank you so much for your great support. When I received the first part of this scholarship, I was having serious financial problems, and please believe me that the money I received made my life easier. I finished my second semester with a cumulative 4.05 GPA. I’m completely sure that the financial aid I received from AHETEMS gave me more peace of mind to study better. Also, this semester, I received the Outstanding Graduate Student distinction from the PHI KAPPA PHI Honor Society at NCSU. In 2008 I hope to participate in the annual SHPE meeting and present some of my research. Again, thank you so much for your help.” — Ronalds W.
