NSCS 2009 Integrity Scholarship Recipients

Zac Gibson

Integrity: To me, integrity is using the kind of judgment that considers the well-being of others as well as yourself, with honesty

Integrity: Integrity to me simply means doing what's right. It means to live by biblical and moral standards far above what most of society expects, and to always consider the value of others. It means to stand for justice, but to also be merciful.

Brandon Wold

Bio: Brandon Wold is a neuroscience major from Colorado Springs, Colorado.   His background prepared him for success wherever he would choose to go, but at Baylor he found himself a second home.  In high school Brandon was an all-state track runner, recipient of the prestigious Congressional Award Gold Medal, President of El Pomar Youth in Community Service, and leader of his school’s National Honor Society.

Brandon continued his pursuit of the highest as soon as he set foot on campus.  Brandon has been a member of the Baylor University Golden Wave Marching Band for two years.  He is a proud member of Kappa Kappa Psi National Honorary Band Fraternity.  Brandon serves the band in whatever way he can.  In his fraternity, Brandon rose to leadership as a sophomore.  His role as corresponding secretary helped the Beta Alpha chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi extend its range of influence across Texas and the southwest region.  

Integrity: No matter what difficult circumstance might arise, a person with integrity will stand for the principles of honesty, fairness, and devotion to helping humanity with a constant and unbroken dedication.

John Stanton Wanberg:

Bio: I was born Denver, Colorado where I grew up doing every sort of mountain sport.  I attended Cherry Creek High School and then moved on to the University of Colorado at Boulder.  I continue to be an avid participant in climbing, mountain biking, and skiing, and I have always loved being outdoors.  Currently I am a sophomore studying Civil Engineering with the hope that I will eventually be able to work on water systems in third world countries, providing this vital resource for impoverished communities. 

Integrity: To me integrity comes down to honesty and truthfulness in our interactions with one another.  It provides us with the ability to look outside ourselves and care for other people. 

Gabriel Pappalardo:

Bio: Gabriel Pappalardo (21) is a senior in Psychology at NC State University from Cary, North Carolina. During his time as an undergraduate, Gabriel has studied abroad in Santander, Spain, been inducted into the Phi Beta Kappa honor society, worked as a resident adviser, and remained involved on campus by performing Improv. comedy with the Comedic Improv.

Integrity:What integrity means to me: "My honor is everything to me, and to have integrity is to have honor."
