This year has been full of growth and change, and it’s been an especially challenging one for me. Thank you again for your generosity. As a student it means a lot to me that you are invested in my education.

I am so grateful that I have people backing me up, who want to see me

succeed. I intend to make good use of the opportunity I have been given

here at the University of Washington.

Being a BSE student has made me more environmentally conscious and taking other classes (such as environmental humanities) has given me an appreciation for the sustainability emphasis this program teaches its engineers.

My favorite part about the BSE program is the opportunity to meet amazing people. From this program, I have made friendships that would not have been possible in a larger engineering major.

…the way that the WPPF gets students involved with industry partners is super helpful because it really streamlines the internship process and makes it much easier to navigate as a student.

Thank you for your continued support. Having this scholarship really takes a burden off my mind about financial support, especially this year since I have been taking on more classwork and have had less time to work.

All three of these [internship] experiences have helped shape critical thinking skills and applications of what I have learned in the classroom into the real world. I have also been able to get a couple great mentors from these internships, and I’m looking forward to applying this knowledge at a full time job.

When I returned [from my internship], I was interested in pursuing beer science, and began researching and attending classes related to fermentation…I am thankful that the knowledge and experience from being in the paper industry has transferred over in my studies today. I am currently a lab manager for a local Seattle brewery where I focus on quality control and improvement projects, and so far, it has turned out to be a dream job.

friendships in the program. Because of the scholarship, I have been able

to devote time and energy that I otherwise would not have been able

to towards out-of-class activities…
