Corbin Lands First Schottland Prize
Senior business major Rebecca K. Corbin, a fashion model and a student entrepreneur who created and sold hand-painted goblets, has  been awarded the first Schottland Business Leadership Award.
Stanley A. Schottland, retired CEO and Chairman of American Packaging Corporation, established the Schottland Business Leadership Award to foster innovation and excellence in American business.
Corbin's professors describe her as a person destined for success. Her senior thesis was a strategic analysis of two dessert companies, Ben and Jerry's and TCBY, that were both recently sold. Citing her work on an award-winning direct mail advertising campaign, business professor Terry Scout said, "Ms. Corbin was a driving force on her team."
As the Schottland Prize winner, Corbin received $5,000 upon graduation and is promised a $10,000 tuition grant to be used toward a master's degree in business at an accredited business school. To receive that grant, she will work for two years in an approved company.
Corbin plans to pursue work in New York City in advertising or publishing."I see myself working up to a high managerial position. I know I can succeed. I'm a hard worker and I don't like to settle."
