| Nina and Vinod Rathore Graduate Scholarships Awarded to Four ECE Students |
On December 18, 2025, the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE)
hosted a small gathering to celebrate Bilal El Jamal,Grace Keles, Yuchen Tang, and
Rak Amonpetchsathapon, all graduate students awarded the Nina and Vinod Graduate Scholarship.
Each applicant was required to submit to the ECE Scholarship Committee documentation
of academic achievement, as well as an essay describing how the scholarship would
positively impact and support the student’s continued success in graduate study. Each
recipient, at the time of application, earned a 4.0 grade point average.
At the event, the scholarship recipients were joined by their advisors and faculty
members with whom they built relationships. Professor Alex Doboli, Professor Wendy
Tang, and Professor Jorge Mendez Mender attended, in addition to a few of the recipients'
family members.
The award recipients had the opportunity to deliver remarks about the scholarship's
impact and to acknowledge the donors’ generosity. Nina and Vinod Rathore, both alumni
of the ECE Department, established this scholarship to support promising ECE graduate
students to continue their academic and research pursuits.
