"The Interdisciplinary Health Sciences Institute, with support from the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion, is proud to introduce our 2024 Community-Academic Scholars! Representing 18 majors and minors in seven colleges and schools, the 17 scholars in this cohort encompass a diverse array of fields of study, from community health to education to industrial design. This cohort of scholars was selected from a competitive pool of applicants possessing the skills needed to work on their selected projects, their personal connections to and passion for the issues their projects address, and for the many ways they have already made an impact on campus and in the community. Many students work in labs across campus, volunteer in the community, and serve in leadership roles in student organizations." - Interdisciplinary Health Sciences Institute

"There are very few Black female civil engineers. Currently, only 16% of civil engineers are women and Black women only account for 3.8% of those positions … I realize that based on the historical data, accomplishing this is a tall feat, but I promise you that I’m up to the task. Nothing will stop me from achieving my academic and career goals, and receiving this scholarship has aided me in this process." - Saliyah As-Salaam

"Cornell originally became interested in electrical engineering through a project-based class (Engineering 177) where he tried out 3D printing, wiring and programming, and he really enjoyed the wiring. His attitude toward studies is, 'If it’s going to be hard, I might as well have fun with it.' His advice for future Grainger Engineers is similar: 'It’s going to be hard, but as long as you like it, that’s all that matters. And figuring out what you don’t like is just as important as what you do like.'" - The Grainger College of Engineering Electrical & Computer Engineering
