Americorps VISTA duo named Outstanding Scholars in College of Business

LA Tech students recognized for excellence in classroom

The Boys & Girls Clubs of North Louisiana is proud to announce that two of its Americorps VISTA employees are now part of the 2020-21 Outstanding Senior Scholars in the College of Business at Louisiana Tech University.

Lauren Manuel and Katie Morgan both assist our Resource Development team at the Boys & Girls Club, while also pursuing their undergraduate degrees in marketing AND their Masters in Business.

This dynamic duo is only two of 20 to be selected as Outstanding Senior Scholars, which is considered one of the highest scholastic honors that the college of business awards to undergraduate students.

Lauren, a native of Zachary, La, currently holds a 3.8 GPA and will graduate with her undergraduate degree is August. Katie grew up in Florida and later moved to Argyle, Texas where she graduated from high school. Determined to attend the University of Florida, Katie changed her mind after falling in love with Louisiana Tech on her official campus visit as a high school senior. She currently holds a 3.7 GPA and will graduate in November. Both are on schedule to also graduate with their MBA in August 2022.

This full plate comes as no surprise to our Boys & Girls Club staff. Lauren and Katie are full of energy and always eager to tackle whatever task is thrown their way. They bring new and creative ideas to whatever Boys & Girls Club project(s) we may be working on at the time and always do it with a smile on their faces and fun in their hearts.

We cannot wait to see what the future holds for both of these amazing young women.

Congratulations Lauren and Katie!
