The Sigma
Pi Kimberly M. Adams Memorial Scholarship |
Kimberly M.
Adams was the sweetheart for 1995 of the Eta Epsilon Chapter of Sigma Pi and
the girlfriend of Sigma Pi brother John Maceluch. She was an active member
of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority and served as its vice president. In
addition, she served as president of the Society for Women Engineers and was
a member of Tau Beta Pi, an engineering honor society that distinguishes the
top 15 percent of students enrolled in the Florida A&M University/Florida
State University College of Engineering.
Above and
beyond scholastic achievement, Kimberly dedicated herself to the betterment
of others through several local charities and youth-tutoring programs. After
graduating cum laude in engineering from FSU in the spring of 1995, she was
to attend North Carolina State on an academic scholarship. Sadly, Kimberly
passed away during the winter break of 1995 due to complications with
asthma. She was an extraordinary women and the loss felt by those who knew
her is profound. She will remain forever in our hearts because the love she
gave continues to enrich the lives that she touched.
To honor the
memory of Kimberly M. Adams, the Seminole Alumni Foundation Inc. - which is
the alumni club of the Eta Epsilon Chapter of Sigma Pi - will bestow two
$250 scholarships at Florida State University each academic year. The first
$250 scholarship will be given out in the fall to a sorority member who best
exemplifies many of the same characteristics that Kimberly did. Applications
will be distributed by the Eta Epsilon Chapter and also will be available
online at
www.sigmapifsu.com.
The deadline for submissions is Oct. 31. A winner will be announced two
weeks later. Three finalists will be selected by the executive council and
voted on by members of the Seminole Alumni Foundation and by members of the
Eta Epsilon Chapter. A second scholarship, also in the amount of $250, will
be awarded in the spring to a undergraduate member of the Eta Epsilon
Chapter who best exemplifies the spirit of Sigma Pi and who excels in
academics and campus involvement. The deadline for submissions is Feb. 28,
with winners announced two weeks later. This award will be narrowed down to
two finalists and will be voted on by members of the Seminole Alumni
Foundation Inc. and by members of the Eta Epsilon Chapter.
Please print out the
accompanying application and submit it to the president of the Eta Epsilon
Chapter in order to be considered for the award.
