Making the Milestone! This spring, the OEA (Office of External Affairs) ushered in a new group of recent graduates for the university scholarship program – bringing the total OEA managed scholarships to 56. The goal is to provide scholarships to 50% of every LCS graduating class. This makes the long-term target 125 to 150 scholarships. Since making this commitment, 49% (LCS 2010) and 47% (LCS 2011) have earned OEA managed university scholarships. In total, there are 344 graduates of LCS (1995-2011), with the upcoming class of 2012 marking the first time in the history of THP/LCS that alumni will outnumber the students currently enrolled.

Alan and Jen Bosworth celebrate Sa Bel II at his restaurant, Cafe Ole, which he offers as a venue for the event.

Alan and Jennifer Bosworth live a hectic life raising four children whose stages in life range from preschool to college. Alan is a trader at Vining Sparks in Memphis,TN.  His job requires him to be fully focused on the financial markets during the day. After hours, Alan devotes himself to his wife, family, and church. When not at work, he is likely to be found chasing his two-year-old, Stella, around the kitchen, attending his daughter Grace’s pom-pom competition at Disney World, hiking the Boy Scout trek at Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico with his son, Jake, or visiting his daughter, Molly, during parent’s weekend at UT, Chattanooga. His wife Jenn says that his devotion to his children is what attracted her to him.

Bissainthe Kismith, '05 LCS graduate, returns to the school for a visit with a sense of strength she says she learned at LCS.

This was the unbending rule that Bissainthe Kismith (LCS ‘05) fondly remembers encountering in 1998 during her first year at LCS as a sizyem (7^th grade) student. Her group had been tasked with picking up trash around campus, and she did not have any gloves. When she protested picking up trash bare-handed, the group leader responded with the simple mantra: “No complaints.” The work needed to be done and neither words nor complaints were going to put the fatra (trash) in the incinerator.
