Congratulations to Michigan State University (MSU) senior, Maddy North, for earning the Board of Trustees Award for having maintained a 4.0 grade point average for all four years. She is one of just 12 in the College of Arts and Letters to achieve that award. Maddy is the granddaughter of Omena residents Chuck and Janet Dickerson. Maddy’s mother is Rachel North and her father is Scott North. Maddy is receiving her degree in English, with a second major in film. To qualify for the award, the student must have completed at least three quarters of their credits at MSU.
After graduation on May 4, Maddy will be working at the Riverside in Leland before heading to Dublin, Ireland in July for a special study program on the Celts. Maddy is also the current president of Delta Phi Epsilon (DPE) professional foreign service sorority. DPE fraternity was founded at Georgetown University in 1920. In 1973, they established DPE sorority on that campus. The Mu chapter was established on the MSU campus in 2015. Members come from various academic backgrounds, but share a passion for advocacy and international affairs.
Welcome back to Alice Littlefield after being away from Omena for almost a year, most recently in Atlanta, Georgia, near her son and daughter-inlaw.
