We are excited to share that we passed the $50k goal for the Dr. Dipo Onipede Memorial Fund. This will allow us to create a scholarship in Dipo's name and memory that will exist in perpetuity at Behrend.
We will work with various individuals to create the official guidelines for the scholarship and will share those when completed. This is a wonderful way to honor our friend, colleague and mentor, and it is because of all of you and your generosity that we were able to raise these funds.
We all know how special Dr. Dipo was and this is such a fitting memory.
We are still accepting donations to the fund through the original deadline of June 30, 2024.

STANDOUT SENIORS: "The ECET major was an easy choice because it combines my previous studies of electronics at a technical school with my personal interest in computer networking and programming. The electrical side of the major expanded upon my previous knowledge and skills, while the computer side allowed me to explore new opportunities in an adjacent field." ~ Tecumseh Thundercloud, Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology (Read Tecumseh's full profile at https://behrendblog.com/2024/04/30/standout-seniors-meet-tecumseh-thundercloud-electrical-and-computer-engineering-technology/)

STANDOUT SENIORS: "I chose Behrend because I could pursue an engineering degree at a top engineering school and continue playing water polo. I decided to major in Mechanical Engineering because it is one of the broadest, most versatile engineering majors that can allow you to work in any industry. I plan to use my ME major, combined with my Sustainability Leadership minor, to have a career in the energy industry." ~ Olivia Wright, Mechanical Engineering senior (Read Olivia's full profile at: https://behrendblog.com/2024/04/26/standout-seniors-meet-olivia-wright-mechanical-engineering/)
