Emily Park Awarded Aspire2STEAM Scholarship
Sponsored by Jean O’Neill and Bennie Jean Schladoer O’Neill

Rising freshman at UC Berkeley, Park aspires to become an engineer who sparks humanism in technology and a musician who opens audiences’ inner, locked doors

“If I was running a tech or engineering company, I’d want Emily Park on my team,” said Cheryl O’Donoghue, CEO at Aspire2STEAM.org. “She is already using technology to maximize and enrich human interactions, knows who she is, cares deeply about others, and has a driving passion to alleviate social and educational inequities. She is exactly the type of person we need to help all of humanity thrive in a technologically driven world.”

Emily is the second of three Aspire2STEAM “ASPIRER” scholarships made possible through two generous benefactors—Jean O’Neill, an award-winning leader in the technology channel, and Jean’s mother Bennie Jean
Schladoer O’Neill who passed earlier this year at the age of 87.
