Maire Sullivan, a psychology major from Plymouth, Michigan, is the Distinguished Student
for 2023 from Trine University’s Jannen School of Arts and Sciences.
Sullivan was recognized with other Distinguished Students during the university’s honors ceremony on Thursday, May 4.
Sullivan graduated summa cum laude, earning a master’s degree in organizational leadership in addition to her bachelor’s in psychology. She earned a 3.99 grade point average in her undergraduate work and a 4.0 with her graduate degree.
She will begin law school at Northwestern University this fall.
She was captain of the women’s golf team, president of the Theta Phi Alpha sorority and president of the College Panhellenic Council.
“In many ways, Theta Phi Alpha taught me who I am,” she said. “Surrounding myself with strong women who kill it every year, showed me that I could do the same.”
As we prepare to celebrate International Women in Engineering Day (INWED) on June 23, it’s a great time to reflect on how far women have come in engineering fields as well as to assess opportunities for improvement.
Three “Birdies, Brews and Barbecues” events remain for 2026 at Trine University’s Club Z.
Trine University is offering select prerequisite coursework at a reduced tuition rate of $150 per credit hour for students planning to apply to the Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN) program beginning January 2027.
