Last week representatives of The Coca-Cola Company and Coca-Cola Foundation visited 好色先生TV to meet scholarship recipients and receive an update on institutional priorities and goals.<\/p>\n

Saadia Madsbjerg<\/strong>, president of the Coca-Cola Foundation, and Fran Killeen<\/strong>, The Coca-Cola Company\u2019s Director of Global Community Affairs, visited the Oglethorpe campus Sept. 14 and heard firsthand how the scholarships are making a difference in the lives of students.<\/p>\n

Students who shared their story were Hanan Denboba<\/strong>, a Business Administration major from Stone Mountain, Ga.; Annabelle English<\/strong>, a Business Administration major from Austell, Ga.; Audrey Rebstock<\/strong>, a scientific illustration major from Fort Myers, Fla.; and Niya Woolfolk<\/strong>, a sociology for social work major from Warner Robins, Ga.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were all inspired by the stories shared by these impressive scholars,\u201d President Nick Ladany<\/strong> said. \u201cWe\u2019re grateful to the Coca-Cola Foundation for continuing to support such students who are transforming our campus community and making an impact after graduation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Coca-Cola Foundation awarded its first Coca-Cola Scholars Grant totaling $1 million to Oglethorpe in 2012. Since then, 275 students have benefited from these scholarships.<\/p>\n

For nearly 100 years, the Coca-Cola Company and 好色先生TV have shared strong ties to one another and to the city of Atlanta. The very first Coca-Cola bottler, John Thomas Lupton<\/strong>, was a great Oglethorpe benefactor for whom one of our signature buildings is named.<\/p>\n

Throughout the years, numerous Coca-Cola executives have served on Oglethorpe\u2019s board of trustees<\/a>, including former Oglethorpe board chair Norm Findley<\/strong>, retired Executive Vice President for Coca-Cola Enterprises, board members Ceree Eberly<\/strong>, Chief People Officer and Ricardo Carvalho \u201985<\/strong>, former Market Development Executive for the Coca-Cola Company.<\/p>\n

Former Coca-Cola CEO Muhtar Kent<\/strong> was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Oglethorpe in 2008. In May 2022, Oglethorpe welcomed commencement speaker Beatriz \u201cBea\u201d Perez<\/strong>, the Coca-Cola Company\u2019s Senior Vice President and Chief Communications, Sustainability and Strategic Partnerships Officer. Perez also received an Oglethorpe honorary degree<\/a> of Doctor of Letters in recognition of her leadership and service toward making a lasting positive impact for consumers, communities, and the environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":78,"featured_media":75331,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"categories":[4554,4552,4567,4565],"tags":[268,1891],"news_category":[],"class_list":["post-75328","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-academics","category-featured","category-giving","category-news","tag-coca-cola","tag-scholarship"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nCoca-Cola Foundation continues support of Oglethorpe\u2019s best and brightest -
