Before they graduate from university later this month, three Waring School alums made news at their respective universities.
A 2009 graduate of Bates College, Warner served in the U.S. Army from 2010-2016 before joining JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s Pathways Development Program. At Yale, I-Hwei participated in the University’s MBA for Executives program, which allowed him to work full-time while taking classes on the weekends. After graduation, he is moving to Los Angeles to work for an aerospace startup.
Before Yale’s Graduation Ceremony, I-Hwei got the special opportunity to hold and inspect the mace that was designed by his great grandfather. Yale News profiled I-Hwei and wrote about his great grandfather’s lasting impact on Yale’s Commencement Ceremony.
Escape rooms are becoming more common, and the idea behind this room was to capitalize on that popularity to make people engage directly with issues of sustainability and the environment. To escape, participants had to solve puzzles embedded with sustainability lessons.
Rosie recently presented her thesis, Troubled Waters: Knowledge, Responsibility, and the Deep Stories of Pollution in Flint and West Virginia. After graduation, Rosie plans to pursue a career at the intersection of environmental science and public policy.
While at UVM, Henry performed research with five different professors in three different departments. His interest in mathematical nonlinear dynamics and the connection he forged with a professor in UVM’s Larner College of Medicine led him to write his honor’s thesis on chimera states and patterns observed in neural models. Someday, his research could lead to a better understanding of how seizures arise and spread in the brain.
Next for Henry is a post-baccalaureate pre-med program at Johns Hopkins University.
