Anna Kate O’Bryant, a freshman from Columbus, is the 2017-2018 recipient of the MUW Alumni Association Legacy Scholarship.
She comes from a long line of W graduates including her mom, Jill Daffron O’Bryant ’95; great-grandmother, Martha Daffron ’65; great-aunt, Patricia Daffron Kelly ’58; and several cousins.
O’Bryant intends to graduate from The W with a bachelor’s degree in business administration with an emphasis in health care management. “I plan to find a job here in Columbus at the hospital or a clinic where I can use my skills to work on the business side of health care,” she said.
O’Bryant signed to play softball for the MUW Owls athletic program.
Recipients of this award complete an extensive application process which provides a student’s complete resume, including academic achievements, extracurricular activities, work and volunteer activities, a letter of recommendation from a high school teacher or counselor, and a short essay on why the student has chosen to attend The W.
The MUWAA exists to support and promote the mission of The W while providing alumni engagement opportunities.
