"The husband and family of Marie Josée Mukamwiza express our sincere gratitude for your support in getting the Women in Math and Statistics fund to the endowment level, and help the vision of alumnus Marie Josée Mukamwiza become a reality. We thank Dr. Wafaa Shaban for the guidance, encouragements she gave to Josee and efforts toward establishing the fund. Last, we thank the University of North Carolina at Charlotte for giving Josee this great opportunity." - Frederic Hien

Closing in on endowment goal

September 27, 2021

It’s been one year since we began this campaign to endow a scholarship in memory of Marie Josee Mukamwiza, a 2005 UNC Charlotte graduate who had a passion for math and statistics. To date, we’ve raised $24,174 toward our $25,000 goal.

Help us meet our goal of endowing this scholarship by renewing your support and sharing this project with your network. We need just $826 to award this scholarship in perpetuity to honor Josee. 

Thank you again for investing in future math, statistics, and actuarial leaders.
