Leah was a remarkable young woman with epilepsy. She made sure that people knew she had epilepsy and that she was accepted or rejected on those terms. The way she led her life was both inspirational and educational to all those around her as she fought to foster understanding about her condition and the learning disabilities that many times accompany it. Successful candidates must be a marketing major with a GPA of 2.0 or higher who has completed a marketing course at LSSU within the last three semesters of application.
