Mansfield joins the Conlisk scholar community in pursuit of his master’s degree at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆDolan.
More than 20 years ago, the esteemed Rev. John M. Conlisk Scholarship was established to improve employment prospects for Irish business students. It covers the Dolan School of Business's annual tuition, accommodations, books, and health insurance.
A graduate of Ireland's University of Limerick, Evan Mansfield has embarked on the Master’s of Business Administration (MBA) program at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ’s Charles F. Dolan School of Business, supported by the prestigious Conlisk Scholarship. Mansfield, a 22-year-old from Ballinameela, a rural parish just outside Dungarvan, Ireland, has made remarkable strides in both his academic and personal life, defying expectations to pursue a future in business and analytics.
“The Conlisk Scholarship has broadened my possibilities in life by providing me with the opportunity to engage with Dolan’s amazing network and challenge myself with new learning opportunities that would have never been available to me otherwise,” said Mansfield.
Growing up with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Mansfield faced challenges, including developmental delays in speech. “Despite these challenges, I overcame all odds and made it to mainstream education," he said. "I defied the expectations anyone has ever had of me — becoming the first member of my family to graduate with a bachelor's — and received numerous awards from the University of Limerick, while helping other people along the way through over 400 hours of volunteering.”
Mansfield’s work ethic and passion for education have set him up for success as he explores the field of analytics.
