GLOBAL SCHOLAR - AMANDA FOSKETT  Academic Year 2009-2010

In her first job at the Texas Roadhouse, Amanda Foskett knew college was a viable outlet for a rewarding career. Growing up in Fayetteville with her 3 dogs and 2 cats, Amanda was very active. She played the viola in the orchestra and volunteered for Cape Fear Valley Health System’s Hospice Care. During high school, she maintained an A average leading to National Honor Society status and ultimately a full scholarship.
 
Amanda joined the Fayetteville State University (FSU) family because it was close to home and had the popular Forensic Science major. Originally only minoring in Criminal Justice, Amanda decided to focus on this discipline full time. Currently working at the USASOC, she has been exposed to many things that will aid in her future as an Army officer. She is grateful for the opportunity of being selected as the global scholar for criminal justice and is excited about the experience she will receive.

The College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) selected Amanda during their Fall semester opening meeting.  She was among many students that met stringent requirements to qualify as a Global Scholar. This past Spring, 102 CAS faculty and staff donated over $4,200. Dr. David Barlow, Dean, reported “even faculty who did not return this Fall still donated to this initiative.”  Barlow also stated he wants to continue to raise money for other students and even challenged the Schools of Education and Business to start similar initiatives in their programs.

According to the Honors Program website, “The Global Scholars Program is designed to provide an understanding of languages, cultures, and customs different from the student’s own but essential to success. The program is open to honors and other high-achieving students.” Students with a GPA of 3.3 or higher are eligible to apply for the Honor’s Program.  For more information, please visit their website.
