Ryan Layton ’14

My name is Ryan Layton.  I am a student majoring in Hospitality Management at Lynn University and am a proud and grateful recipient of Lynn University’s Gloria and Bryan Bourgeois Endowed Scholarship.  I am writing to thank you for your generosity.

I am originally from Baltimore, Maryland and had attended the University of Maryland.  After realizing that I was in an environment not suited to my learning style, as well as pursuing the wrong field for me, I transferred to Lynn University.  Since transferring, I have begun to experience college in a whole new light.  I am not only enjoying what and how I am learning, but am earning excellent grades as well.  I am currently a junior and have achieved a cumulative GPA of 3.86, as well as a 4.0 GPA last semester.   I plan to graduate in December of 2012, but hope to stay involved with the University.

I want to thank you again for honoring me with this recognition of my success at Lynn University.  I hope to one day follow in your footsteps and be able to help future Hospitality Management students achieve their goals.
