The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford honored four area high school students as “Women of Promise” at a luncheon Tuesday, March 18, for their achievements in athletics, community service, and the creative and performing arts.
The award, co-sponsored by Pitt-Bradford’s Staff Association and the Women’s History Celebration Committee, is given to students who demonstrate academic excellence along with exceptional achievement in one of three categories—athletics, community service, and the creative and performing arts.
Being honored are Michelle Fuhrman of Bradford for athletics; Macy Rupprecht of St. Marys for community service; and Brianna Bizzaro of Port Allegany and Danielle Campbell of Portville, N.Y., for creative and performing arts.
