Laurel Fleming is an attorney with Northwestern Medical Faculty Foundation in Chicago. She is a 1982 graduate of UW-Eau Claire, majoring in Business Administration, with minor concentrations in Far Eastern Studies and Speech Communication. As an undergraduate student, she was active in forensics and AIESEC, and she spent her junior year studying at Sophia University in Tokyo. She and her husband chose to support this scholarship because they firmly believe that study abroad experiences open doors professionally and personally, and they want to recognize the outstanding education Laurel received at UW-Eau Claire. Recipient should write a letter of thanks to Mark and Laurel Fleming and forward it to the UW-Eau Claire Foundation Office, S-214.
