The Mathematics Department is excited to announce the recipients of this year’s Sigma Scholarship. This scholarship was established in the summer of 2020 to support and encourage students who are traditionally underrepresented in STEM fields to pursue higher-level mathematics. Because of the financial support of the Clark community, three students have been awarded the Sigma Scholarship. 

Valerie Echeverria will be studying chemical engineering at Oregon State University. 

Lauren Ford will be studying chemical engineering at the University of Washington. 

Jaxson Walrath will continue studying engineering at Clark College. 

Congratulations to these future leaders of STEM!
