Siblings at the Robert E Cook Honors College Both Win the Prestigious Duggan Scholarship

Indiana, PA (PRWEB) November 16, 2007 -- For two Indiana University of Pennsylvania (http://www.iup.edu)(IUP) students Mason and Lauren Young, success is all the family. They are the children of William and Theresa Young of Indiana, Pennsylvania. Mason is a senior economics major and Lauren is a freshman marketing major, and both have accomplished great things during their short time at IUP.

One achievement that these siblings have in common is their admission to the Robert E. Cook Honors College (http://www.iup.edu/honors), and the honor of receiving the Duggan Scholarship award. The Duggan scholarship was established in 2004 in honor of the late Bob Duggan. Duggan was actively involved in the community and IUP. He was a member of the IUP Council of Trustees, and served as chair of the IUP Presidential Search committee. The Duggan Fund awards $2000 to IUP students annually, and the number of talented local students that it recognizes has been increasing.

Mason, a 2004 graduate of Indiana Area Senior High School, is in his final year at IUP majoring in economics (http://www.chss.iup.edu/economics/) with a minors Spanish and political science. When asked about his experience at IUP, Mason replied, "The economics department is awesome. I absolutely love it. I was undecided for two years and am really happy that I chose this. They have been nothing but helpful."

More than just a serious student, Mason is well rounded in community service and extra curricular activities. He currently serves as president of Habitat for Humanity, which he has been involved in since his freshman year. He is also the proud recipient of the Anthony and Emma Calvetti Morino Memorial Scholarship, awarded to incoming Honors college students.

Mason has been able to take advantage of the Robert E. Cook Honors College's enhancement fund for two endeavors this year. Last spring, he traveled to Italy with Dr. C. Thomas Ault for his senior synthesis class where he studied art, geography, and architecture. "It was amazing," he said. "It was the best experience of my life." Most recently, Mason had the opportunity to participate in the program the Fund for American Studies at Georgetown University. There he studied comparative political and economic systems and had an internship with the American Family Business Institute, a Republican lobbyist firm. He also got to study under esteemed economics professor Dr. George Viksnins.

"I got to meet congress members and visit the CIA, Federal Reserves Building and the West Wing," he said. "I couldn't believe I was there, standing in the Oval Office and the Rose Garden."

Younger sister Lauren, is a 2007 graduate of Indiana Area senior high school, and a freshman marketing (http://www.eberly.iup.edu/mktg/) major at Indiana University of Pennsylvania's Eberly College of Business. Lauren chose marketing for her major because she "can use it for a lot of different opportunities." She is also a member of the Robert E. Cook Honors College. "I am most excited about the opportunities that the Honors College offers that you can't receive elsewhere," she said.

"I was involved in communications in high school and like the concept of creating things," she said At Indiana Area Senior High School, Lauren also participated in Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) for one year, was a member of the video scrapbook club and took three years of a communications courses. "In the class we made biographies, documentaries, and even a video yearbook that students could purchase at the end of the year," she explained.

Lauren has not yet chosen which activities she wants to be involved at yet, but she is considering Honors Connection, Habitat for Humanity, Student Marketing Association and Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE). "It is hard to first get involved in clubs so I am taking my time finding what I want to do," she said.
