Incoming Student Granted National Fellowship

Charlynn Weissenbach, who will attend Berkeley Law in the fall, is this year’s recipient of the $2,500 Catherine Wills Coleman fellowship from Mortar Board, a top national honor society recognizing college seniors for outstanding achievement in scholarship, leadership, and service. A recent San Diego State graduate, Weissenbach was Mortar Board’s co-chair of philanthropy in 2009, led a book drive to benefit the children of an autism support group, and raised awareness about autism on campus. Weissenbach, the first member of her family to attend college, was also president of the Pre-Law Society and a member of several honor societies.
