四名学生优先接受 BorgWarner奖学金
大一新生杰丁·弗里曼(26岁，CS)， BorgWarner and 正规的赌博app put their action behind their words.
“多样性有多种形式. 它在许多使命宣言中都有, 有时, that’s as far as it goes — words on paper — but no true reflection in the institutions,弗里曼说. “然而, to see BorgWarner and 正规的赌博app come together to bring about change in an actionable way means a lot to me. 这让我想要尽我所能，这样我, 太, can be in a position to impact the lives of others in a meaningful way. This partnership makes me feel hopeful about the future.”
Freeman is one of the first participants in the BorgWarner Scholars Program, created by the company’s commitment to diversity through a donation of $925,000. The program provides scholarships to students in financial need, with a focus on African American and Hispanic students interested in an engineering co-op at BorgWarner.
Students will be on site full-time at BorgWarner during their paid co-op rotations that start during their freshman year. 在它们的旋转过程中, students will receive more than two years of real-world experience working alongside BorgWarner engineers and mentors, gaining skills to support and supplement their schoolwork and eventual transition into salaried, 全职工作.
Freeman hopes to become a software engineer at BorgWarner after graduation. He completed one co-op term with the company this summer, 他对自己未来的任期感到很兴奋.
“This program is so much more than just a rotational engineering program,” he said. “I’ve made so many meaningful connections and learned so much through the first term at BorgWarner. This program was initiated by [Vice President of BorgWarner Inc. 以及总裁和总经理, 布雷迪·埃里克森(1994年), ME)，由[副总裁]管理, 制造工程系统]Chris Gustanski. Having a clear conversation with Chris Gustanski regarding my interest and how he could align my rotations with them, 我对我的未来更有希望.”
Freshman Christian Lopez (‘25, EE) also completed his co-op term during the summer.
“这大大超出了我的预期，”洛佩兹说. “I had hands-on work and business work at the computer. 一开始, 很明显, 我们正在进行培训, 但在那之后, 他们开始给我们分配任务和项目.”
Like Freeman, Lopez also appreciates BorgWarner and Kettering’s efforts to increase diversity.
“Giving the opportunity to minority students is something that many don’t get the chance to do,洛佩兹说, “so I’m proud to be one of the first ones there and hopefully help programs like these continue.”
在博格华纳合作
Freshmen 马克·埃文斯(25年，CE)和泽维尔·奥莫佐克皮亚(25年，ME) started their first co-op term at BorgWarner at the end of September.
“我参加了很多面试, 博格华纳感觉更像一个家庭，而不是一个公司, 我很欣赏,Omozokpia说. “Interviewing with some of the larger companies made it feel like you were one in a million, 但在这里, 我觉得自己很特别, 好像他们关心我们每个人一样.”
Omozokpia wants to work in the automotive industry after graduation, 特别是电动汽车, 而埃文斯想要研究可持续能源, 使博格华纳成为理想的工作场所.
“当时我正在找合作公寓, BorgWarner has an amazing focus on producing a cleaner, 更可持续的环境, 哪一点对我的决定至关重要,埃文斯说.
That, combined with the Kettering scholarship, made choosing Kettering a no-brainer.
“奖学金让我更容易做出决定, 现在我来了, I already feel like I’m a part of the Kettering community,Omozokpia说.
除了925美元,000开始奖学金, 博格华纳公司捐赠了100美元,000 to support a new 正规的赌博app initiative and to help expand it to more corporate sponsors.
“BorgWarner welcomes our first scholarship recipients to the company,费莉娅·普赖尔说, Executive Vice President and Chief Human 资源 Officer at BorgWarner Inc. “They are joining the company at an exciting and pivotal time in our history. We look forward to sharing our collective experiences together and achieving our goals.”
