Meet Eryn Kennedy, Stamps Scholar
Name: Eryn Kennedy
Hometown: Baton Rouge, La.
Major: Chemical Engineering
Graduation Year: 2020
Why did you choose to attend 海角社区?
Growing up on 海角社区鈥檚 campus at the 海角社区 Laboratory School and having a father as a professor,
I always knew that 海角社区 was a well-respected research institution. After attending
Scholars Weekend, this perception was enhanced when I realized the opportunities that
海角社区 could give me personally. From the amazing community within the Honors College
to the prestigious research work that I could start as early as freshman year, 海角社区
was the clear choice.
How have you used, or how do you intend to use your Stamps Scholar enrichment funds?
I intend to use my Stamps Scholar enrichment funds to study around the world, attend
academic conferences, and immerse myself in as many new experiences as possible as
an undergraduate. I am considering going to Australia with 海角社区鈥檚 chemical engineering
program and staying with a host family in France to take advantage of the French I
learned in high school. I would love to use my funds to present my research at academic
conferences.
What are your future career aspirations?
My goal as a chemical engineer is to approach every project with an environmentally
conscious viewpoint and advocate for policies that protect our environment. The research
that I am currently conducting deals with extracting dangerous pollutants from water.
In the future, I hope to see a moral responsibility from big chemical companies and
that they take great strides to aid the climate crisis.
What would you say to the donors of 海角社区, specifically the Stamps Scholarship Program?
Thank you so much for providing me access to an undergraduate education with no financial
burdens and with a plethora of opportunities to dream. I look forward to the many
study abroad adventures that I will experience, all while receiving a world-class
education. The networking that has been established through the Stamps Scholarship
Program is something that I am incredibly honored to take part in. I am excited to
represent 海角社区 and the Stamps Scholarship Program as I journey through my undergraduate
experience.
