They are real women dealing with real life \u2014 and facing real challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Guests at the event enjoyed the dazzling selection of chocolate-inspired fare, desserts, and wines and listened to vocal selections from the all-female group the Sugartones. Students, faculty, staff, and supporters alike shared their thoughts on how Goodwin College is providing them with opportunities to realize their long-held dreams.<\/p>\n<p>Leone Alexander, who is pursuing her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/majors\/histology\/\">Histology Degree<\/a> at the College said, \u201cI am honored to be the very first recipient of The David Fund Scholarship, established by Goodwin\u2019s provost, Ann Clark.
