A true personification of the values and ideals this project seeks to encourage, and much like our previous awardees, Anneliese Gegenheimer is as ambitious, creative and intelligent as anyone we could ever expect to support and we are proud to have made her acquaintance this semester.
A junior at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Anneliese is pursuing multiple fields of study during her undergraduate years and is involved in activities both on and off-campus that make her the exemplar of a student involved in both the uplifting of her own pursuit of knowledge and the condition and wellness of others.
Having taken a recent interest in her own Hungarian and German heritage, Anneliese found something which was once a vague and obscure personal reference in her past to be an avenue to the realization and appreciation that the richness cultural and ethnic diversity has had on hers and the American experience of all of us. It has been an admitted emotional and intellectual complement to her undergraduate experience.
As a Business major with a dual minor in Chinese and Information and Library Sciences, Anneliese is a star clarinetist with the UNC Marching Tarheels and also contributes her musical talents and skills as a student of the violin by offering free lessons to young people with limited financial means in the Chapel Hill/Carrboro community who otherwise would not be able to experience such an elegant and challenging instrument.
It is with certainty that Anneliese will make substantial and benevolent contributions to our world in the years that follow her time at UNC, and it is a source of pride that we have been a small part of her undergraduate experience.
