Sasha Seymore ’15 receives prestigious new scholarship to attend Stanford

Sasha Seymore is among the inaugural class of Knight-Hennessy Scholars, joining a prestigious new program that fully funds students’ graduate studies in any field at Stanford University. He plans to pursue his Masters of Business Administration.
