a minor in mathematics. She has had multiple jobs on campus, including being a math tutor for UA athletes and a student coordinator for Cubs to Wildcats, which encourages K-8 students to go to college. She has been involved in several clubs and societies and is an Engineering Ambassador. She has also done undergraduate research with Erica Corral in the materials science and engineering department. She recently completed an internship at Honeywell Aerospace and hopes to join the company full-time when she graduates. “In the future,” she told her benefactors and fellow students, “I would like to get a master’s degree in engineering management from none other than the U of A.” Turning uncertainty into success is not just Herlihy’s story. The UA College of Engineering awards about $800,000

every year in private scholarships to approximately 350 students. Another scholarship recipient, math and mechanical engineering double major Ina Kundu, told the audience how a scholarship frees students from the shackles of financial stress and allows them to develop fully. “I have loved almost every moment of my college days,” she said. “Partly because I could take part in numerous activities without ever worrying about the cost of education.”
Ina Kundu
Kundu said that community service and campus activities enriched her college experience. She was president of Tau Beta Pi, the engineering honor society, and president of the UA student chapter of ASME, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. “While these are enjoyable activities,” she said, “they do not pay for books or lab fees.”
Kundu recently began her PhD at MIT. “I will continue my quest to help society by specializing in biomechanics,” she said. “My fellow classmates will follow suit as they join graduate programs or get jobs or conduct research in pursuit of bettering society. All these opportunities remain possible by your generous scholarships.”
