Beth Morton, T'11

Beth Morton is a sophomore in the Trinity College of Arts and Sciences from North Royalton, Ohio. She is a chemistry major and pre-med. Her ultimate goal in life is to become a pediatrician. Besides being in her books, Beth enjoys mentoring young girls through a program called Future Is Now (FIN). Beth is also involved in the Newman Catholic Student Center as a Eucharistic Minister, and she volunteers at Duke Hospital once a week. Beth did a pre-orientation program called Project BUILD during the summer preceding her matriculation at Duke. BUILD is an acronym for Building Undergraduate Involvement in the Life of Durham. She highly recommends it to incoming freshman because it allowed her to make friends prior to orientation and get acquainted with some of the service opportunities that are available in the Durham community. During her free time Beth enjoys hanging out with her friends and family, going to the movies, shopping, and going to sporting events.

The Reginaldo Howard Scholarship has a meant a lot to Beth. With the enrichment funding that has been made available to her by the scholarship program, Beth will be able to study philosophy in Greece this summer. Furthermore, some of the strongest personal connections Beth has made while being at Duke have occurred as a result of the Reginaldo Howard Scholarship. For example, some of her best friends at Duke are also Reginaldo Howard scholars. This Reginaldo Howard Scholarship has most definitely been a great asset to Beth, both from a professional and a spiritual perspective.
