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.”
Trine University students Isaac Braun, a senior chemical engineering major from Portland, Indiana, and Ryan Sederstrom, a junior electrical engineering major from Cedar Lake, Indiana, placed 15th in the collegiate pairs tournament at the North American Bridge Championships.
Trine University has been selected to be part of a national program to help campuses respond to the challenges and opportunities artificial intelligence (AI) presents for courses, curricula and higher education in general.
Two Trine University faculty members recently participated in the biennial Actuarial Teaching Conference (ATC), held July 19-21 in Columbus, Ohio.
