The Albert Baker Fund (ABF) Board of Trustees is delighted to announce the Daniel Herbert Leadership Scholarship to recognize his 18-years of inspired service to our Board and the ABF community.
\n\u201cThis special scholarship in Dan\u2019s name is a fitting tribute to his deep commitment to our students and ABF\u2019s mission to serve Christian Scientists,\u201d said Adam Messer, Chair of the Board. \u201cWe are excited to name Julia Stevermer, a junior at The University of Richmond, in Virginia,
\nas the recipient. Julia is a dedicated Christian Scientist, an accomplished student, and plans a career of international service, an aspiration that means so much to Dan.\u201d\u00a0
Julia is pursuing her Bachelor\u2019s Degree, with a double major in Political Science and Russian Studies, and is preparing for a career as a Foreign Service Officer in the U.S. Department of State. This summer she conducted research on the 1932 famine in Soviet Ukraine and presented her findings at a university research symposium. Next summer she will participate in an internship that focuses on addressing security threats in Europe and Asia.
\nJulia looks to her understanding of God as omnipotent and omnipresent to give her the \u201cclear sense and calm trust\u201d (from Science & Health, p. 495) she feels is needed to work successfully to de-escalate international conflicts and mitigate world crises. \u201cI believe that my study of Christian Science will allow me to serve God and mankind by helping me to manifest peace, harmony, and safety, domestically and overseas.\u201d
\nDan added, \u201cCongratulations, Julia! This scholarship is well-deserved and I\u2019m sure you will do great things for mankind.\u201d\u00a0
