IPMA Announces 2020 James M. Brahney Scholarship Recipients

Brooklyn Maxwell

Brooklynn Maxwell is the daughter of IPMA member, Doug Maxwell, the Managing Director of Print and Mail Services at Brigham Young University. She finished her most unusual senior year with a 3.995 GPA and celebrated graduation without its typical ceremony. Despite the differences of the school year end, she is very excited for the new experience of going to college in the Fall. Brooklynn will be attending Brigham Young University in Utah and hopes to pursue a degree in Graphic Design, with a minor in Music. Art and playing her violin are her true loves, and she does them both exceptionally well.

Brooklynn is so grateful to have been selected to receive the James M. Brahney scholarship. Thank you to those who have made this scholarship possible. Now, she will be more able to pursue her dream of attending BYU and become a graphic artist.
