BGSU Firelands student awarded Trustees Leadership Scholarship BOWLING GREEN, O. -- Nick Revelas, a student at Bowling Green State University's Firelands College, was awarded the 2004-05
BGSU Board of Trustees Leadership Scholarship on Friday (May 7).
Revelas, of Norwalk, has compiled a 3.62 grade point average at the Huron campus, where he is completing his third semester.
He will transfer to the Bowling Green campus in the fall to pursue a bachelor's degree in psychology.
The trustees established the $1,000 scholarship in conjunction with the creation of the President's Leadership Academy and
in support of an ongoing BGSU priority-promoting a culture of leadership at the University. It was presented for the first
time in 2002.
In addition to a minimum grade point average of 2.75, scholarship criteria include leadership potential-as exhibited in campus
or community activities-and depth of knowledge, sincerity and thought displayed in a required essay on leadership.
Revelas, who has been a mathematics tutor at BGSU Firelands, defines leaders as people who have "a genuine desire to want
to help people." He hopes to become a counselor, helping people find direction for their lives.
William Huepenbecker, mathematics coordinator in Firelands' Department of Natural and Social Sciences, wrote of Revelas: "I
am impressed with his ability to assist even the weakest student, and his calm and supportive style of tutoring reduces anxiety
for other students. He is a leader by example."
Revelas has been accepted into the BGSU Honors Program and is also a member of Alpha Lambda Delta and Phi Eta Sigma honor
societies. He hopes to join Psi Chi, a national psychology honorary.
Last month, he received a $2,150 Dean's University Scholarship Award, presented to an outstanding Firelands student who plans
to pursue a bachelor's degree on the Bowling Green campus.
