2023 Agonian Alumnae Association Scholarship

Kathy Catlin Briggs ‘88, Tally Fenner ‘25
& Mindy Mospaw Poupore ‘79

AAA Scholarship Award Fall 2023

On November 5, 2023, Mindy Mospaw Poupore ’79 and Kathy
Catlin Briggs ’88 traveled to Potsdam to award Tally Fenner ‘25
the $1,000 AAA Scholarship. Tally, a Psychology and Biology major,
impressed the Scholarship Committee which was made up of
Mindy and Kathy as well as Jacquie Morse Shellman ’69, Linda
Dolanch Longhouse ’87, Vera Thurston Gibbs ’78, Susan Canale
Hostetter ’81, and Molly Magee ’21. Tally has been a leader in Ago
and on campus by holding the position of Academic Chair on the
All-Greek council. She has shown academic excellence with a
GPA of 3.8, and dedication to Ago as the House Manager, New
Member Educator and President of the All-Greek council. She
does all of this while holding down a job at the local Stewarts
shop. Her letter of recommendation was the icing on the cake for
the committee’s decision.

Mindy and Kathy provided dinner for the house after the

presentation, and it was wonderful to spend time with the Active
Members and get to know them a bit. They were very welcoming
and made us proud to be Agonian. If you are interested in
participating in the Scholarship Committee, please reach out to
either AAA President Clare Reilly 16, or Scholarship Committee
chair Kathy Catlin Briggs ‘88 at kbriggs117@gmail.com.
