ABF Trustees Award the Lisa Mietchen Marketing Scholarship to Matthew Consiglio

The Albert Baker Fund (ABF) Board of Trustees is delighted to announce the Lisa Mietchen Marketing Scholarship to recognize Lisa’s 9-years of inspired service to our Board and the ABF community.

“This special scholarship in Lisa’s name is a fitting tribute to her deep commitment to our students and ABF’s mission to serve Christian Scientists,” said Alistair Savides, Chair of the Board. “We are excited to name Matthew Consiglio, a sophomore in Marketing at Carroll University, as the recipient. Matthew is a dedicated Christian Scientist, an accomplished student, and plans a career in marketing, where he will focus on “helping people market their businesses, products, and services, whether it be social media posts, website design, or creative advertising.”

One of Matthew’s highlights academically included joining the AMA (American Marketing Association) club. This is a professional club that taught him various aspects of marketing. For one activity, he was given a tennis ball and fishing wire, and was asked to create an innovative product, market its new use, and create materials to market it. Not an easy challenge!

This year, a significant lesson he learned academically was to stay true to self. His greater confidence allowed him to step up more as a leader in group projects and speak up more in class.

Matthew recently shared with us his gratitude for the support of ABF and his Christian Science community. He shared, “Christian Science has really helped me in my life…if I ever come across anything that may seem challenging in my life, I know I can conquer that challenge with ease.”

Alistair added, “Congratulations, Matthew! This scholarship is well-deserved and I’m sure you will do great things for mankind.”
