University College student Monica Antone-Watson was one of eight students selected to receive the Dr. Sherman V. N. Kent Scholarship from the Alpha Sigma Lambda Honor Society for the 2011-12 academic year. Antone-Watson was selected from an outstanding group of candidates nationwide for her academic achievement, scholarship, leadership and need. Alpha Sigma Lambda is the National Honor Society for Continuing Education and Lifelong Learning. Its aim is to recognize the special achievements of adults who accomplish academic excellence, while facing competing interests of home and work.
Antone-Watson is a senior majoring in fiber arts and material studies in the College of Visual and Performing Arts, with a minor in Native American studies.
