My name is Josh Crownover and I am a Junior majoring in Finance in the Mitchell College of Business. I have the extraordinary opportunity to be a Mitchell Scholar. The scholarship is named after Mr. Abraham Mitchell, who endowed the scholarship fund. I also have the pleasure of serving as a Mitchell Ambassador, representing the College to internal and external constituencies, including community business leaders and students, and I also represent the student body at the University of South Alabama as the President of the Student Government Association.
