May Family Fellowship
ILIR alumnus Alan May and his wife Hope established an ILIR student fellowship to encourage study in the area of international human resources. The fellowship is awarded annually to a suitable international applicant, or a domestic applicant with a demonstrated interest in international human resources. Preference is given to students with strong linguistic skills and academic or professional experience in a foreign country.
The inaugural fellowship was awarded in the fall of 2002 to Karolina Letunova, an honor student from the Russian Federation who graduated Summa Cum Laude from Berea College with a bachelor's degree in Business Administration. Her language skills include fluencies in Russian and English, with limited skills in Spanish and French.
The recipient of the Fall 2003 May Family Fellowship is Sylvia Jing, a 2000 graduate of Xi'an Jiaotong University in Xi'an, P.R.China. Sylvia won the 1998 and 1999 University English Competition, first prize, and was an intern and participant in the Euro-Asian Business Internship Pilot Program.
Alan is the past president of the ILIR Alumni Board, and is the Senior Vice President of Business Integration at Pepsico Beverages and Food. He holds a master's degree from the Institute.
