WISE SF Bay Area recently announced our 2024 Belonging Scholarship Recipient:
Meet: Joanne dePierre: - http://linkedin.com/in/joanne-depierre
Get to know Joanne: A native of Kansas City, Joanne is on track to finish her B.S. in Management Science and Engineering degree with a Minor in Spanish at Stanford next year. In addition to her education, work research and analysis, Joanne’s passion for sports includes her role as a Sports Announcer (and Financial Officer) for the Stanford Radio station where she’s called 1-3 games per week in football, basketball, softball and soccer.
My Favorite Sports Experience: I did a live radio broadcast of Stanford Football vs CU Boulder in October 2023, where Stanford was down 29 points and came back and won in 3OT! It was the best 5 hour broadcast ever despite the cold!
My Favorite Sports Memory: Watching Patrick Mahomes bring Kansas City their first Super Bowl in 50 years OR watching Wade Davis throw the final strike in the bottom of the 12th securing a World Series title for the Kansas City Royals for the first time in 30 years.
Why I was interested in WISE: “ As someone who has always wanted to become a successful businesswoman in sports, I am ecstatic to join the WISE organization. I am excited to meet, work, and be mentored by industry leaders, to help me pursue and achieve my goals!”
The WISE SF Bay Area Belonging scholarship aims to promote diversity, equity and inclusion within our organization, and community.
