Every Scholarship has a Story Steve Kousouris '79
Everyone has a story. When you support a scholarship, the story of your McDaniel journey converges with that of a current student. When Steve Kousouris ’79 decided to establish the Louis J. Kousouris and Peter J. Kousouris Scholarship Fund to honor his father and uncle, he knew he wanted to support a student from Baltimore City where his family is rooted. Sophomore Kobe Morrison of Baltimore, this year’s recipient of Steve’s fund, was given a chance to meet and thank his donor in person. We hope you enjoy seeing how their stories intersect.
