Math/Comp Sci double-major wins Goldwater Scholarship

Kaleigh Clary, a junior double-majoring in mathematics and computer science, was awarded a Goldwater Scholarship, placing her among a select group of 271 awarded nationwide for this highly competitive scholarship. Kaleigh's long-term plan is to pursue research in machine learning at a national laboratory or in industry. Kaleigh was one of the four STEM students Hendrix was eligible to recommend for the scholarship — already a strong honor; this year, all four Hendrix nominees won the scholarship, a feat matched by only three other schools in the country. 29 Mar 2013
