Lare, a dietetics major and president of Madonna’s Nutrition Network student organization, will receive one of nine MDA scholarships distributed to deserving Michigan students this year. Awards are based on GPA, work experience in dietetics, community service and leadership.
‘I am very proud to receive this award and to represent my school,? said Lare who graduates this May. ‘Earning a degree at Madonna University prepared me for success thanks to the knowledge and guidance of my professors, the shared experiences with fellow students and the support of the surrounding community.?
Lare is involved with Madonna’s student council as a liaison for the American Dietetic Association, is a volunteer coordinator at St. Mary Mercy Hospital, a hospitality co-chair for the Southeastern Michigan Dietetic Association and a personal nutrition assistant for St. Joseph Hospital Food Service. She plans to begin pursuing her master’s degree this fall.
