The event brought together students and donors to celebrate the impact of scholarship.<\/p>\n<p>Guests had the opportunity to hear directly from Seo, senior Connor Castillo and longtime scholarship supporter Adina Savin about how generosity had impacted students\u2019 academic journeys.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cScholarship support is crucial in allowing students to attend USC, lightening the financial burden on them and their families, and allowing them to focus and engage more in their academic pursuits,\u201d says USC Dornsife Dean Amber D. Miller.<\/p>\n<p>Some opportunities that USC Dornsife scholarship and fellowship recipients participated in over the past year include studying social justice in Africa, setting up health clinics in Vietnam, writing poetry manuscripts about the vast California wilderness, participating in archeological digs in Egypt and compiling data on ocean warming and its impact on microorganisms.<\/p>\n<p>Castillo, an environmental studies major, used funds from the Bauer Family Environmental Endowed Scholarship to conduct research with Zhanghua Chen in USC\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/envhealthcenters.usc.edu\/ehmatters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Environmental Health MATTERS<\/a> program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy being selected for this scholarship over the past two years, I had the financial security to participate in this fulfilling experience,\u201d Castillo says, \u201crather than having to choose a corporate internship that likely would have been less rewarding for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Schlegel, a professor of urology at Weill Cornell Medicine, supporting scholarships is a way to pay it forward for the help he received on his own journey. \u201cI was very fortunate to be supported by a broad variety of fellowships and scholarships throughout my education from high school to residency training,\u201d he says, \u201cso I recognize the value of that kind of support.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The value of generosity is not lost on Seo, who feels that fellowships like the one she received not only foster academic excellence but also nurture the next generation of visionaries. \u201cAs I stand here today, I am a testament to how such support can impact a student\u2019s educational journey and future career path.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n
