A quote from Revocat Murayi, a 2004 scholarship recipient:
“I appreciate The Links' continued support in financing my
college education. It's hard to believe that I will actually be graduating in
May! I've been very fortunate to attend this school and I will truly remember my
experience here at Washington University. I've even been fortunate enough to
have already found a job! I recently accepted a position from Mercer Human
Capital Consulting in Chicago, IL as a Consulting Analyst with a start date of
August 2008. I'm truly blessed to be in this position at this point in my senior
year, and I attribute much of that to my education and background experiences throughout
my college career as well as the support I've received from the Town
Lake Chapter of The Links, Inc.”
