The other recipient is Neveah Rogan, a Warren resident and first-year student at Wayne State, who also happens to be studying criminal justice with a minor in pre-law. Rogan aspires to become an attorney. Corvias is a privately owned company headquartered in Rhode Island. It has a partnership with the Department of Defense and higher education institutions across the U.S. to address housing, infrastructure and energy resiliency needs in an effort to create sustainable solutions for the long term. Corvias serves nearly 20,000 students and 15 colleges and universities, including Wayne State University. Todd Pedersen, the senior vice president of asset management for Corvias, explained that it was “pure coincidence” that both recipients are pursuing the same major. “They’re pretty great,” he said. “I had the privilege to spend a little bit of time with both students last year and this year during a luncheon that the university hosts on campus. So, I’ve gotten to meet with the very impressive students that have received the scholarship each year.” Hartsfield said the scholarship “is a really strong push for me. This scholarship has really helped me, and I feel like being able to get out of the house and from under my mom’s wing makes me want to be more independent and more responsible.” To be eligible for the scholarship, students must live on campus and have and maintain a 3.0 GPA. The application window is open through April 1. For more information, visit www.housing.wayne.edu/scholarships. To learn more about Corvias, visit www.corvias.com.
