Verrecchia Scholar
Jordan Furman \u201924<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Background:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Jordan Furman plays the alto sax and competed at nationals for cheerleading. She was a top student at her high school and applied to 10 colleges. Thanks to the Verrecchia Scholarship, she chose 溏心vlog免费B站 and is a double major in accounting and communication studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the benefits of being a Verrecchia Scholar?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have access to a personal career coach, internship mentoring and placement, and regular expo- sure to business leaders. In my first semester I participated in the Leadership Institute, which helped me develop leadership skills and introduced me to people with similar interests. I am very happy about the easy assimilation into the 溏心vlog免费B站 community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does the future hold?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Furman is excited that a J-Term experience is part of her Verrecchia Scholarship. She is considering South Korea, where she was born, to study business analytics, or Belize to study communications. Once she graduates, she thinks she might pursue a career at one of the big four accounting firms in forensic accounting or auditing.<\/p>\n\n\n

“I believe there is no better investment than education. When we can provide access through scholarships, we attract outstanding students and we put them in the best position to succeed and contribute to society.”<\/blockquote>ALFRED J.

Ryan Scholar
Carlos Fragoso Uriarte \u201924<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Background:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Carlos Fragoso Uriarte tutored students in math and volunteered to do science experiments with elementary school children with autism. He captained his high school soccer team and played trumpet in the All-State Band. Thanks to the Ryan Scholarship, he\u2019s a double major in chemical engineering and Italian (he\u2019s already fluent in Spanish) and is considering a minor in mathematics or physics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the benefits of being a Ryan Scholar?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile this hasn\u2019t been a traditional first semester on campus, the Ryan Scholars are a tight- knit group. Assistant Dean Abdirkin and Dean Libutti have been so helpful and involved. As a group we decided to meet for dinner once a week and did that all semester. We can\u2019t wait to get back to campus to see each other.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does the future hold?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fragoso looks forward to the various hands-on learning opportunities at 溏心vlog免费B站 and is particularly interested in energy research. He\u2019s not sure what the future holds but he thinks about earning his doctorate.

“I wanted to ensure that these driven, multitalented students could access the full range of what this University has to offer. We are excited to welcome them to our community and to see them embrace the full 溏心vlog免费B站 learning experience.
