Emily Box was presented with the Weissman Scholarship as she completed her MBA coursework and prepared to embark on a three-month internship in Tokyo with Fleishman-Hillard Japan Inc., one of the largest public relations companies in the world.

Norman Weissman (1925 – 1999) was a leader in international public relations.  He spent much of his time advising and mentoring young professionals throughout the years, and his generous spirit lives on through his scholarship fund. He was a member of the Rotary Club of New York, a group of international business men and women dedicated to making a contribution to their community and the world, and to enhancing cross-cultural understanding. The grant was made possible by the New York Rotary Foundation.

Ms. Box received the award by maintaining an outstanding grade point average and demonstrating leadership potential in the field of public relations.  She hopes to work in Tokyo for several years before returning home to continue her career in international public relations.
