Rachel Scholes, STEM Scholar

Rachel Scholes, McC ’14, Chemical Engineering

Rachel is interested in sustainability and wants to use her degree in Chemical Engineering either directly through the business sector or through research towards that end. She is involved with NU’s chapter of Engineers for a Sustainable World—a national program. Her team’s current project is the “Clean Energy Plan for NU.” One of the last projects was to be a part of the installation of a solar panel system on the roof of the Ford engineering building on NU’s campus. She was invited to participate in the Freshman Emerging Leaders Program, and she has continued her French horn studies while at NU and performs in multiple ensembles.
