To be eligible for a Bannan scholarship, Dullea wrote, a student must be an undergraduate junior or senior with a full-time major in the College of Science and Engineering. The applicant must have a minimum GPA of 3.5 and have a demonstrated commitment to serving both the university and the greater community. The scholarship program is named for benefactor Thomas J. Bannan, “a leader in manufacturing, commerce, engineering and applied sciences and a man with a deep commitment to Seattle University,” the provost continued. Bannan Scholars are selected in the spring quarter by the Bannan Selection Committee following an extensive selection process. Each student recipient makes a personal commitment to actively participate in the program’s activities. The $6,000 award is renewable for one year if academic parameters and program commitments are met. 2017-2018 Bannan Scholars Dominic Burgi Electrical and Computer Engineering Sonja Danon* Marine and Conservation Biology Austin Dennis* Civil and Environmental Engineering Mary Dyrland* Biology Jesse Goncalves Mathematics David Grob* Electrical and Computer Engineering Rose Marie Haynes* Physics Nicole Kahasha Mechanical Engineering Jorge Lara Alvarado Civil and Environmental Engineering Brian Le Computer Science and Software Engineering Tudi Le Biology Elsa Magness* Mathematics Emily Mather Mechanical Engineering Courtney Olson* Cell and Molecular Biology Neipori Pelle Physics Alisha Piazza* Mechanical Engineering Tucker Price Biology/Mathematics Caley Polkinghorn* Biology Christopher Riley* Chemistry/Physics Anna Rutledge Physics Maia Schumacher* Biology Matthew Seidel Electrical and Computer Engineering Carrie Smith Mechanical Engineering Isheeta Tewari* Biology Jean-Paul Wallis* Civil and Environmental Engineering Note: * denotes second year Bannan Scholarship recipient
