Javs Reaching Higher

Meet: Nereyda
Classification: Senior
Major: Chemical Engineering
Hometown: Edinburg, Texas
High School: Edinburg North High School

I chose Texas A&M-Kingsville because:
It has an excellent engineering program.  I also like the fact that the school offers a wide range of merit base scholarships and it is great at meeting the student’s financial aid needs.

My Major:
I have always enjoyed chemistry and I love performing lab experiments.  I also like mathematics, especially calculus.  Chemical engineering is a fusion of the two and that is why I selected it.  It is such an interesting and diverse major and the job opportunities are great.  The starting salary is a plus!

My honors, awards and scholarships:
Dean’s List
VIP Housing Scholarship
Presidential Silver Scholarship
Barnes and Nobles Scholarship
Texas Trial Lawyers Association Scholarship
Department of Chemical & Natural Gas Engineering Scholarship
Frank H. Dotterweich College of Engineering Chair Scholarship.

The best part about being a Javelina is:
I love the fall and spring carnivals! The food is great. It is one of the main things that lure me to University Boulevard during these events.  I also enjoy the games
