Congratulations to Jordyn Watkins
Jordyn Watkins, an undergraduate student in Electrical Engineering at Walla Walla University is the recipient of this year's Framatome Scholarship. Below is a paragraph shared by Jordyn on winning this scholarship.
“I would like to extend a sincere thank you to the Eastern Washington Section of the Society of Women Engineers and Framatome Inc. for awarding me this scholarship. Studying engineering and maintaining good academic standing is taxing on its own. When the stresses of academics are paired with financial strain, going to college can become overwhelming quite quickly. This scholarship will assist me in covering the cost of tuition so that I will be able to graduate in spring 2021 with a Bachelor of Science in Engineering with a concentration in Electrical Engineering supplemented by minors in Mathematics and Chemistry. After undergrad, I plan to continue my involvement in the engineering community, pursuing a job in the renewable energy or power engineering fields as well as continuing my education at a graduate level.
Heading into my fourth year of undergrad, I will be involved in the leadership of Walla Walla’s chapter of Engineers Without Borders (EWB) as well as the student chapter of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and hope to make a positive impact on the community locally as well as abroad through my involvement in both organizations.”
Thank You Framatome!
Framatome funded the EWS-SWE Framatome scholarship for 2020. The scholarship is awarded annually to a qualified female engineering student who has completed at least one year of studies at an ABET-accredited school with the intention to enter the field of engineering, and who resides in or attends school in Eastern Washington state.
