Shannon Myatt

I am truly honored to have been selected as a recipient of the MAB Student Scholarship. I would like to sincerely thank Professor Wertalik and the Marketing Advisory Board for recognizing my potential and dedication to the field of marketing.

This scholarship will directly support my study abroad experience, allowing me to gain international marketing exposure and expand my understanding of how marketing practices differ across cultures. What once felt like a dream, immersing myself in global perspectives and applying them to my academic and professional journey—is now becoming a reality! Beyond the financial support, this scholarship has given me confidence in my abilities and reaffirmed my passion for pursuing a career in marketing. It also provides me with the valuable opportunity to connect with board members whose expertise and mentorship will continue to inspire me.

I’m incredibly grateful and honored to have received this scholarship. Thank you to the Marketing Advisory Board and to Donna Wertalik for your unwavering support and belief in my potential. Your investment in my education and professional growth means more than words can express.

Being part of the Junior Marketing Advisory Board has been one of the most formative experiences of my time at Pamplin. I’ve grown not only as a student, but as a future marketing professional, thanks to the mentorship and encouragement I’ve received from the Marketing Department.

As I step into my senior year, I’m filled with excitement and optimism for what lies ahead and I carry with me the lessons, confidence, and inspiration Pamplin helped instill.
