Update on Lauren Berger from her email of September 26, 2005:
"Thank you for the congratulations on the scholarship. I was very excited and honored to be a recipient. I am in my fifth week here at Indiana University, and my classes have been very interesting. I am planning on declaring a major next semester, and I will probably declare a double major in criminal justice and political science, with the intent of law school. I am also still considering journalism. Right now I am getting some base requirements out of the way, and I plan to start on my major concentration next semester."
Best regards, Lauren Berger

Rebecca Williams
University of South Carolina
During her academic life, she has served as an intern for the US Commission on Civil Rights and for former US Senator E. Fritz Hollings from South Carolina. Rebecca planned to become a lawyer, but two days prior to taking the law school entrance exam, she changed her mind, feeling the law may somehow jade her. She feels service to her community "would be better offered as a social worker."

Rebecca has finished her first year of Graduate School at the University of South Carolina, where she is working toward a Masters degree in Social Work. Rebecca obtained her undergraduate degree in political science from Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina. During her second year in graduate school, Rebecca plans to intern with the South Carolina Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault. Ultimately, she would like to be a lobbyist, and be instrumental in passing laws guaranteeing the rights of women and children, as well as the elderly. Rebecca Williams' father is employed at Smith Engines, Charlotte, North Carolina.
