Mindi Anderson is the 2017-18 recipient of the Red and Theresa Howse and Jim and Betty Papageorge Library Scholarship Endowment.

My name is Mindi Anderson, and I am the recipient of the Howse/Papageorge scholarship for this school year. Since working in Pendergrass, I have come to realize that a career in a learning environment is right up my alley. I hope to finish my undergrad in 2019, and complete my master’s in library science immediately after.

I am passionate about literature, and aspire to pursue a career in libraries. The Howse/Papageorge scholarship has helped to make that dream come true. Coming from a single parent home, finances are limited. The assistance provided by the scholarship helped ease the financial burden, and made realizing my dream that much more doable. Thanks to the Howse/Papageorge scholarship, my future at UT and in the library field is looking bright!
