AUBURN HILLS, Mich. – Baker College’s Auburn Hills campus has announced that Pauline Rayes, of Warren, has been awarded the 2016 Dianne Addington Community Leadership Scholarship in the amount of $2,000.
“Pauline Rayes is a shining example of our many students who balance family, work, and school responsibilities while still making time to contribute to their communities,” said Peter W. Karsten, Baker College of Auburn Hills president. “We’re proud Pauline chose to pursue a bachelor’s degree at Baker College and appreciative of Genisys Credit Union and its ongoing support of our students through the Dianne Addington Scholarship.”
Genisys Credit Union funds the annual award in honor of its former president and CEO, Dianne Addington, who retired in 2010. She served on many community boards throughout her career, including Baker College of Auburn Hills Board of Regents.
“This scholarship is as much a tribute to Dianne’s belief in the strength of Baker College’s quality career programs as it is a tangible investment in the future success of our community,” Jackie Buchanan, Genisys Credit Union president and CEO.
Rayes earned an Associate of Business in paralegal at Baker College’s Clinton Township campus in 2008. She returned to Baker College in 2015 to pursue a bachelor’s in legal studies at the Auburn Hills campus and anticipates graduating in 2018. She plans to work as a paralegal for a law firm.
