ECU Phi Kappa Phi Student Awards

Each year, the ECU chapter of Phi Kappa Phi selects three student award winners. The Outstanding First-Year award goes to a student in their first-year of study at ECU who exemplifies outstanding academic achievement, a love of learning and a spirit of community service. The winner receives a plaque and a cash award of $500. The Outstanding Senior award goes to a graduating senior who has excellent scholarly accomplishments but who has also made positive contributions to both the university and the greater Greenville community. The winner receives a plaque and a check for $1,000. The third award is for the Eldean Pearce Graduate Fellowship. The national society of Phi Kappa Phi sponsors a graduate fellowship competition among seniors who have been accepted for graduate or professional study in the following year. The chapter selects a winner who then goes on to compete for national awards. Our chapter winner receives a plaque and a check for $1,500.

The 2021 Outstanding First-Year student is Cora Alexis McQuaid.

The 2021 Outstanding Senior is William R. Guiler

The 2021 Eldean Pearce Graduate Fellowship winner is Olivia Sessoms.

Finalist of Distinction for Graduate Fellowship:  Melany Contreras

Finalist of Distinction for Graduate Fellowship:  Yulia Price

Outstanding First-Year Student

Cora McQuaid graduated from Woodgrove High School in Loudoun County, Virginia. She is pursuing a degree in Bioprocess Engineering with a minor in Coastal Marine Studies. She is a Chancellor’s Fellow in the ECU Honor’s College and was recently recognized as one of the Department of Engineering PIRATES scholars, based on high academic achievement. She is on the executive board as the secretary and social media manager for a newly founded club at ECU, Pirates on Water, that focuses on promoting awareness and education of water resources issues to ECU. She is also actively involved with ECO- Pirates, a sustainability focused organization, Releaf which plants trees around campus, Society of Women Engineers which promotes women in engineering, and outinSTEM which supports LGBT students and allies in the STEM field. She is also a founding member of “Sustainabilibees,” which focuses on educating and raising awareness about the importance of pollinators, specifically honeybees. Their mission is to increase the pollinator population on campus through the installation of beehives and wild pollinator habitats. This past semester, Cora has been studying at the ECU Outer Banks Coastal Campus and learning field-based methods for ocean coastal research. She is completing an internship with the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of the Outer Banks in Kitty Hawk, NC, evaluating sustainable development options that will minimize impacts to the creek that runs adjacent to the property and flows into Kitty Hawk Bay. Next semester she will work on a project to design a wave energy converter to desalinize water. This will allow purification of salt water into clean drinkable water using ocean energy.

Outstanding Senior

William R. Guiler was the winner of our chapter’s Outstanding First-Year award previously. He came to ECU as a Chancellor’s Scholar in the ECU Honors College and as an Early Assurance Scholar in Nursing. His research with ECU professors shifted his emphasis away from nursing to pursuit of a double major in psychology and neuroscience. He worked with Dr. Dolbier in her Stress and Health Laboratory, researching a mindfulness intervention called Koru and evaluating its effects on college student mental health. Most recently, he has been a Co-Investigator on a study pertaining to college student stress and coping across the pandemic. He completed his senior honors thesis under Dr. Dolbier and Dr. Everhart’s supervision. The study is titled, “A Neuropsychological Profile of College Students with ADHD,” which he intends to publish after graduation. His scholarly interests led him to Dr. Lu, director of the Harriet and John Wooten Laboratory for Alzheimer’s and Neurodegenerative Diseases. In his lab, he worked on several projects and utilized complex super-resolution microscopy techniques. In the Summer before his senior year, he completed an internship with Merck in their Genetics and Pharmacogenomics Department. Taken together, his research experiences at ECU have culminated in over 15 presentations, multiple publications (under review), over $9,000 in grants, and being named ECU’s first Goldwater Scholar.

William also has an outstanding record of service. He worked with the ECU Wellness Center on their mental health initiatives, including their collaboration with the Jordan Porco Foundation. He traveled weekly to local area high schools to advocate for suicide awareness and prevention along with educating such students on the transition to college. He joined the ECU Collegiate Recovery Community (CRC) as an ally, supporting students who are in recovery from addictions and aiding those students with their wellness goals. He served as their Service Committee Chairman. This committee planned and implemented the Purple Pantry, the first food bank for ECU college students in need. He has also worked with diversity initiatives on the ECU campus. He held several leadership positions at ECU. He was treasurer for the ECU Psi Chi/Psychology Club treasurer, the undergraduate representative for ECU’s Association of Neuropsychology students and trainees, and Student Vice-President for ECU’s Chapter of Phi Kappa Phi.

William will pursue graduate study in the PhD program in Interdisciplinary Neuroscience at the University of Iowa. He ultimately plans to become a professor of neuroscience and to mentor students with disabilities and those from underrepresented backgrounds.

Eldean Pearce Graduate Fellowship Winner

Olivia Sessoms grew up in rural Sampson county where her high school lacked funds for laboratory equipment and opportunities for students with an interest in science and mathematics. She attended the NC Governor’s School for Mathematics and began to consider her options in the sciences. She came to ECU as a member of the Honor’s College and chose to major in engineering, eventually focusing on an environmental concentration. She was one of 14 undergraduates from across the state chosen to receive the North Carolina Space Grant Undergraduate Research Scholarship. Her research, with Dr. Ali Vahdati, involved computational modeling of nitrogen species transport in unsaturated soils using specialized software. Nitrogen pollution has a negative impact on human health and environmental quality. “Developing a robust model of nitrogen species transport in variably saturated soil would allow for the extrapolation of results to different sites and would save money and time by decreasing reliance on a large amount of experimental measurements,” she said. “One of the greatest benefits of this model is once the framework is created, parameters can be easily changed so the model fits different scenarios.” Over the Summer of 2020, she participated in the NC State RISE/REU Program for Civil and Environmental Engineering. She learned Python so she could develop a program to represent the effects of climate change on hydraulic performance of water distribution systems based on literature projections for climate effects on water demand. She also conducted research with Dr. Natasha Bell studying innovative green technologies to reduce nutrients in wastewater effluent and stormwater runoff. Her most recent effort is a project to educate the public about local water quality and innovative water treatment technologies by documenting my process of designing and constructing a regenerative stormwater conveyance system to treat a local stream for degraded water quality through videos and visual media.

Olivia has engaged in extensive university and community service. She spent three years as a residence hall advisor and was a teaching assistant for an engineering course. She interned at the ECU Innovation and Design Lab. She and fellow students Loring Penna-Welch, Jacob Marshall and Hayden Murphy worked with the ECU Innovation Design lab to create a composting business in Greenville. The group, named Terra Bella Compost, takes organic food waste from ECU’s dining halls and converts it to high-quality compost for gardeners and landscapers, thus helping the environment and reducing trash costs.

It is Olivia’s goal to be an effective steward of the environment and to help enact positive societal change. Her Phi Kappa Phi Fellowship will facilitate her pursuit of a M.S. in Environmental Engineering at the University of California at Berkeley. Eventually she plans to give back by working to create opportunities for students who come from less STEM-literate areas of the country.
