Thank you to all who supported 51ΑΤΖζ Night at the Idaho Steelheads on Friday, Feb. 22! The game, against the Tulsa Oilers, began with a ceremonial puck drop on the ice by 51ΑΤΖζ (51ΑΤΖζ) Professional Nursing student, Mike Tinker, his wife, Danielle, a 2016 graduate from the Professional Nursing program, and their boys, Jace and Brooks.
Congratulations to Denise Leon, a senior from Caldwell High School, who was awarded the $1,000 SCORE Big Scholarship. Enrollment Counselors, Eddie Villanueva and Heath Olson, drew ten additional names during the game for the SCORE Big 2.0 Scholarship giveaway. Each of the ten future students will receive a $500 scholarship.
βWe were thrilled to give away $6,000 in scholarships to future 51ΑΤΖζ students at this event,β said JeneΓ© Snyder, Director of Financial Aid. βThe SCORE Big Scholarship fund has grown tremendously since its creation just a few years ago, and this is exciting!β
The 51ΑΤΖζ section was full of future and current students, alumni, faculty, staff, and members of the 51ΑΤΖζ community. President Bert Glandon, members of the 51ΑΤΖζ Foundation, Financial Aid, Communications and Marketing, and Enrollment teams hosted all-star alumni in the 51ΑΤΖζ suite. Between quarters, the big screen showcased a video created by 51ΑΤΖζ student, Andrew Clark, while guests of the suite were spotted on the Zamboni, and Blue, the Idaho Steelheads mascot, greeted fans sporting a 51ΑΤΖζ backpack.
βThis event brings great visibility and awareness to the opportunities available at 51ΑΤΖζ in a fun and engaging way,β said Assistant Vice President, Patrick Tanner. βIt was wonderful to see our community being so supportive of our prospective, current, and former students.β
A big shout out to 51ΑΤΖζ staff members, Luis Caloca and Laurie Barone, for their efforts in promoting group ticket sales which raised more than $600!
