Sutton places highly
Christopher Sutton, a senior at Albert Gallatin Area High School, placed highly in two recent violin competitions. Sutton placed first in the Mountaineer State division of the American String Teachers Association competition in Fairmont, West Virginia, and second in the West Virginia Music Teachers Association competition in Shepherdstown, West Virginia.
Sutton has studied violin for nine years under the tutelage of Mary Wilson of Morgantown, West Virginia, through the West Virginia University Community Music Program. He is the son of Robert and Dianne Sutton of Smithfield.
Student selected
Kathryn Biller of Mount Pleasant was one of 17 minority students named to the inaugural class of the Navarro Executive Fellows program at Youngstown State University.
The program, offered for the first time this fall, is named in honor of philanthropists Shorty and Elba Navarro, who donated $1 million to fund scholarships and campus jobs for students at the university. Each student will be assigned to work with a university leader who will serve as a one-on-one mentor for two years.
Biller, a pre-business major, will spend up to 15 hours a week with mentor Betty Jo Licata, dean of the university’s Williamson College of Business Administration.
