What's All the Buzz About?

by Katheryne Fields, GRSP Executive Director

For the first time in nearly 20 years, there is “buzz” in the air about Georgia Tech for the Georgia Rotary Student Program. GRSP has worked directly with Rotary Clubs and Tech to offer scholarships to international students, including Atharva Lele, 19 of India and Seraphine “Sheena” Gunawan, 19 of Indonesia.

Atharva is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Peachtree City. He enjoys linear algebra this term and explains it as the new way of thinking about mathematics. He’s connected with people from all across the world and learning about their culture, history and traditions. Atharva had a chance to represent Tech this past week at the Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers (SASE) Connect Collegiate Conference in Boston, MA. He was chosen with a group of four other students to represent Tech for their project.

Sheena is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Henry County and a computer science major. Her favorite class this term is Automata and Complexity, which explores the fundamentals of computer problems. She is also spending time working in a biomedical lab helping with simulations, AI analysis and multitracking system as well as taking a quantum machine learning research class. It is easy to imagine why she appreciates how her Rotary Club encourages her to take breaks, go outside and have fun. She’s intrigued by learning about the other GRSP scholars’ passions and helping others internationally despite their busy schedules and the growing individualism in society.
