Meet the new CSS Scholar Emily Huang!

Reposted from Suma Datta, Chair of 2017 CSS Committee at Wild Wild Westie:

Choosing our 2017 College Swing Scholar was a difficult choice--we had so many outstanding applications, and such strong showings by those applicants at Wild Wild Westie in workshops, social dancing, and competitions. We wish we had more scholarships to give out. The finalists were Kendall Byers (College Station, Texas), Emily Huang (Austin, Texas), Annie Lockmiller (Berkeley, California), Celina Nelson (Minneapolis, Minnesota), and Hannah Young (Fayetteville, Arkansas).

Our 2017 College Swing Scholar is Emily Huang! Congratulations Emily, and thank you to all the applicants for everything you do to support and build the Westie community. You are a big part of why the WCS community is such a great place to be.
