Two students earn FEI Outstanding Student Awards

By Katrina Neveri

University of Wisconsin-Parkside students Dana Berglind and Nicole Zach were recently honored by the Milwaukee chapter of Financial Executives International (FEI). The School of Business and Technology students were honored at a ceremony in Brookfield earlier this week.

Berglind, from Lake Forest, Ill., was selected as the FEI's 2012 Outstanding Student in Accounting and/or Finance. Zach, from Racine, received a Roger Buchholz Memorial FEI Junior Scholarship. Both students are Business Management majors with accounting and finance concentrations.

Milwaukee FEI, in conjunction with area educational institutions, recognizes two top student achievers from selected area colleges. Two scholarships in the amount of $2,000 are awarded to outstanding students selected for this distinguished achievement.

To be considered for these awards, Berglind and Zach were required to have a cumulative grade point average of 3.00 and at least a 3.50 on a 4.00 scale in business courses directly related to their major. Selection criteria, including the quality of the essay submitted, academic merit, demonstrated leadership, and involvement in civic, religious, academic and/or other career related activities, emphasize their potential for career success in corporate financial management in addition to academic and personal achievement.
