\"Fredricka

Fredricka Amoah \u201926 studies at one of her favorite spots on campus, the Barbara J. Burger iZone<\/a> in the Rush Rhees Library<\/p><\/div>\n

Fredricka Amoah \u201926 has always dreamed big. When she was a little girl, she aspired to be a doctor and even the president of the United States\u2014she wanted to do something that would help people and make their lives better. Her mother encouraged her aspirations, often reminding all five of her children to do their best, have far-reaching goals, and never forget where they came from.<\/p>\n

Amoah\u2019s roots extend from New York City to West Africa. She was born in the Bronx, where she spent most of her childhood and teenage years. Between the ages of five and nine, though, her family moved to Ghana, where her mother is from and where her aunts, uncles, and grandparents still live. Amoah loved it there and returned often for extended visits.<\/p>\n

Over the years, Amoah has heeded her mother\u2019s advice about education. She\u2019s worked hard and consistently earned excellent grades. She was even valedictorian of her high school. When it came time for college, her principal, Liz Runco \u201905, told her about Rochester and its rigorous academic program. She liked what she heard.<\/p>\n

Amoah is now a first-year student here and the recipient of the Byrd and Eva Waller Scholarship. This is awarded to a deserving student who maintains an excellent academic standing and requires financial assistance. She is planning to major in optics, a field she learned about during a pre-college summer program offered through the University\u2019s Early Connections Opportunity program.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I applied to Rochester, I was thinking pre-med or maybe engineering,\u201d she says. \u201cBut then I saw an optics demo, which was given by a teaching assistant, and something sparked in me\u2014I never even knew what optics was and now I want to know everything about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the fall semester, Amoah took classes in calculus, chemistry, writing, and optics–that was her favorite. In her optics lab, she learned how light can affect objects. For instance, in one assignment, Amoah and her classmates used a laser-cutting machine to etch the Meliora symbol onto a glass surface. Experiences like these are affirming Amoah\u2019s career aspirations.<\/p>\n

\u201cSomeday, I\u2019d like to either build telescopes for NASA or work for Apple designing cameras for iPhones,\u201d she adds. Outside of class, Amoah stays busy. She likes playing pickup games of volleyball with her friends, studying in her secret spot inside Rush Rhees Library, and working on assignments with classmates in the Barbara J. Burger iZone. Amoah is also part of the Optics Student Council and the Pan-African Students Association, which is focused on building and growing a diverse and accepting culture at Rochester. The Office of Minority Student Affairs has been helpful to her, too, providing her with resources as well as a community of like-minded people who support and can relate to her academic and life experiences.<\/p>\n

Amoah credits her scholarship for making so much happen for her. \u201cI\u2019m incredibly grateful to Ms. Waller,\u201d Amoah says. \u201cIt\u2019s humbling and inspiring knowing that someone who didn\u2019t even know me wanted to invest in my future. Someday, I hope to extend my hand to a student just like she has done for me.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” use_row_as_full_screen_section_slide=”no” text_align=”left” background_color=”#ffc70a” css_animation=”” box_shadow_on_row=”no”][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_empty_space height=”25px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]

<\/i><\/span>

\u201cI established this scholarship in honor of my parents. They sacrificed so much to make sure my siblings and I had a great education. I also wanted to pass along the generosity that was shown to me as the recipient of a scholarship, which was the only way I could attend the University of Rochester. I\u2019m glad I can support a student like Fredricka\u2014her passion for education is inspiring and I\u2019m very proud of her.\u201d \u2014Kathy Waller \u201980, \u201983S (MBA) and University trustee<\/span><\/h4><\/blockquote>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_empty_space height=”20px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”60882″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle_2″ mkd_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space height=”25px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” use_row_as_full_screen_section_slide=”no” text_align=”left” background_color=”#ffffff” css_animation=”” box_shadow_on_row=”no”][vc_column_inner][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”25px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” box_shadow_on_row=”no”][vc_column][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” use_row_as_full_screen_section_slide=”no” text_align=”left” background_color=”#00205b” css_animation=”” box_shadow_on_row=”no”][vc_column_inner][vc_empty_space height=”25px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
