2023 Scholarship Recipients

Mia Chu is a senior majoring in Cellular and Molecular Biology and minoring in Chemistry and STEM Teaching, with teaching licensure in Biology and Chemistry.

Ethan Collins is a junior at George Washington University, where he studies Interdisciplinary Mathematics with a double minor in Physics and STEM Teaching through the GWTeach program. For him, Math is a challenge which endlessly humbles him with its complexity, beauty, and frustration. He believes that anyone can be good at math, as long as they have the patience of a saint, the determination of a Greek hero, or a teacher with both those things and a lot of time. In his free time, he watches American and Japanese animation to escape from reality- he means to study cultural differences. He also believes that this should have been an "autobiography" rather than just a biography. 🙂

Sonya Gelfand is a senior majoring in Neuroscience and minoring in Biology and STEM Teaching, with teaching licensure in Biology and Chemistry. As an aspiring STEM educator, her goal is to help emphasize that science is accessible to all students regardless of their background, interests, or academic strengths. She believes that science is beautiful to everyone in their own way!

Eva Schneiderlochner is a junior majoring in Chemistry and minoring in STEM teaching with licensure in chemistry. As part of her chemistry major, she performs research with the Cahill Group at GW, focusing on f-block chemistry. Eva views chemistry as a means to explain the natural world and help solve man-made problems. She hopes to educate students on the breadth of opportunities, connections to society, and develop their critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. 

Emily Sullivan is a senior majoring in Biophysics and minors in Chemistry and STEM Teaching, with teaching licensure in Physics. She has always been interested in STEM since a young age, and she hopes to inspire our future generation of STEM students. She wants to especially focus on making the field of physics more diverse and making physics less "scary" for students to learn.
