Westminster College Business Administration Major Received Scholarship
Benjamin Nelson, a senior business administration and history major at Westminster College, recently received the Edward Trust Entrepreneurship Scholarship.
"This is a new scholarship that the Department of Economics and Business Department created out of the endowed funds contributed several years ago by the David Edward Trust," said Tom Rosengarth, chair of the department and associate professor of accounting. "We hope to make this an annual event."
To qualify for this scholarship, students must submit a written business plan and present an oral presentation before a panel of judges. This year's judges included Richard Bralich, a 1979 Westminster College graduate and principal of the Bralich Advisory Group, and Ken Romig, a 1984 Westminster graduate and vice president for finance and management services at Westminster College.
Nelson is a son of Thomas and Kathie Nelson, Poland, Ohio, and a graduate of Poland Seminary High School.

Clifford the Big Red Dog Coming to Westminster March 21
The Westminster College Celebrity Series is bringing "Clifford the Big Red Dog Live" to campus Tuesday, March 21, at 1 and 6:30 p.m. in Orr Auditorium.
"Seeing the magic of live theater come alive in the eyes of a child is priceless," said Connie McGinnis, assistant director of Celebrity Series at Westminster College. "Children are so uninhibited and unpretentious when they attend a performance. They clap; they laugh; they dance in the aisles. Theater is real to them and there is nothing more entertaining for a family to do together than attend a show. The kids won't take their eyes off the stage and the parents won't be able to take their eyes off the joy on their children's faces. It's truly a feel good experience for all."
This show presents the well-loved characters from Birdwell Island including Emily Elizabeth, Cleo, T-Bone, Jetta, Charlie, and, of course, Clifford in an energetic spectacle for the whole family. With memorable songs, dancing and the characters kids love, Clifford fans will love this show that celebrates the timeless values of teamwork and friendship.
Westminster's Orr Auditorium was recently remodeled to include air conditioning, stage elevator, new carpeting, and re-upholstered seats, along with stage lighting and shell improvements.
