THE SANDY HARBRECHT FUND SCHOLARSHIP
Sandra (Sandy) earned a BS in Education from Kent State University in 1971. While a student she was a member of the Alpha Phi Sorority. Following her graduation from KSU she taught elementary education for ten years, until she joined her father's communication firm in Columbus, Ohio.  In 2000 she was appointed to the KSU Board of Trustees, a post she held for nine years. Sandy is creating this study abroad scholarship so that other students can have the same incredible global experience she enjoyed as an education major teaching in Paris at the American School.
