Jonathan Zimmermann Named #RIT Outstanding Undergraduate Scholar

2014 Apr 21

Jonathan Zimmermann, son of Amy Strong of Ft. Myers, Fla. and Thomas Zimmermann of Rochester, N.Y. (14612), was named a 2013-2014 Outstanding Undergraduate Scholar during a ceremony April 10 at Rochester Institute of Technology.

Jonathan is a fourth-year student in the Electrical Engineering - BS program in RIT's Kate Gleason College of Engineering.

Outstanding Undergraduate Scholarship Awards are presented to students who have achieved the distinction of maintaining a minimum university grade point average of 3.85 out of a possible 4.0 and completed at least 125 quarter credit hours of study, nearly two-thirds of the credit hours required for a baccalaureate degree. Selection is also based on other factors complementing academic achievement, such as creative work, service on student committees, civic activities, employment and independent research.

Each RIT scholar receives a bronze medallion representing the traditional symbols for wisdom and respect -- the Athenian owl and the olive branch.

Congratulations, Jonathan!
