Student Receives GM Sullivan Fellowship
For more information on this story contact:
JULY 23, 2004 -- Christopher Kimojino, a junior in chemical engineering, has been awarded a $10,000 General Motors Sullivan Fellowship.
The GM Sullivan Fellowship Program is a partnership between General Motors and the United Negro College Fund in honor of the late Reverend Dr. Leon H. Sullivan. The purpose of this fellowship is to support universal human rights by promoting equal opportunity, fair competition, and sustainable development; respecting voluntary freedom of association; and protecting human health and the environment.
Kimojino will receive $5,000 of the fellowship as a scholarship, and $5,000 will support Enterprise curriculum development. As part of the award requirements, Kimojino, along with Mary Raber, industrial projects coordinator for the Enterprise program, attended an off-campus training program sponsored by GM to help them master the Sullivan principles. As part of the Enterprise program, engineering students partner with industrial sponsors to implement creative solutions to current industrial design challenges.
Kimojino, working with Raber, will incorporate the Sullivan principles into the Enterprise program's 1-credit elective engineering ethics module. He will also serve as a member of the consumer product manufacturing enterprise. Raber and Sheryl Sorby, associate dean of engineering and the chair of Engineering Fundamentals, will be primary mentors for Kimojino, and he will then mentor his peers.
Kimojino is currently working in the Warren Tech Center in Warren, completing a paid internship with GM. When he returns he will compile a report on the Sullivan principles and his experience as a Sullivan fellow and assist Raber in the development of the Enterprise engineering ethics course material. |
