Brenau University sophomore Suzette Meza won the Georgia Woman of the Year scholarship from the Georgia Commission on Women. Meza, a conflict resolution and legal studies major, was one of five undergraduates from colleges and universities around the state to receive the $1,000 unrestricted grants at a ceremony that honored Georgia Chief Justice Carol W. Hunstein as Georgia Woman of the Year — the 16th Georgian accorded the honor since the program began in 1996. Others include former first lady Rosalynn Carter, former Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin and SPANX founder Sara Blakely.
