Kansas Wesleyan University has announced the Spring 2022 winners of its Rebecca Chopp Transfer Scholarship.
Joyce Yoo Adams (Salina, Kan.) is a Social Work major originally from Hawaii. Beyond her life as a student, she is a mother and a military spouse. With her degree from KWU, she intends to build a clinic that provides free walk-ins, start her own scholarship fund and become an active member of her community.
“Receiving this scholarship gives me the confidence to be the best student I can be,” said Adams. “It will give me the freedom to be present with my daughter, and to be the best mom I can be. I am honored to celebrate the achievements of Dr. Chopp and am even more motivated to reach my future goals.”
