ALVAREZ PSYCHOLOGY SCHOLARSHIP WILL BOOST UNCG UNDERGRADS

Milly Alvarez, Libya, 1970

Alvarez was inspired by her time at Woman’s College (now known as UNCG), where she experienced a nurturing environment that helped students reach their full potential. “I want students dedicated to this pursuit to have the same opportunity that I had 60 years ago.”
