Prewitt Scholarship recipient Jessica Zak is earning a bachelor’s degree in earth sciences with an emphasis in geology. Her passion lies in seismology, tectonics and earthquake hazards. Almost three decades ago, Mandy Prewitt (pictured below) discovered her life’s passion in geosciences. Rock formations fascinated her. She planned to get a master’s degree and share her love for geology with the next generation. But tragedy struck, and Mandy passed away in 1996 during her sophomore year at OSU. Today, her parents Sharon and Dwight Prewitt have created a scholarship in Mandy’s memory, helping students like Jessica Zak (right) prepare for careers in the sciences. They plan to endow the scholarship through a gift from their estate. “We believe geosciences are extremely important because we live in this world, so we have to take care of it,” they say. You, too, can make a meaningful difference at OSU through your will or trust. Contact me to learn more.
