International Student Wins University Award
Laura Gil, who graduated in May with degrees in Business Economics, International Business, and Management Information Systems (MIS), received a 2022 Ardeth and Norman Frisbey International Undergraduate Student Award given by the University. The award recognizes outstanding contributions to global understanding by full-time international students.
As a native of Colombia, Gil bore witness to the economic and humanitarian crisis in neighboring Venezuela, which inspired her to major in Business Economics.
“Then, through research, I learned that even the smallest factors can affect a country’s economy, so I added an International Business major,” Gil said. “I added an MIS major to be able to better comprehend and present data so that other people can understand it.”
