This summer, Toller Phipps, Heights High, 2022, had the opportunity to participate in the Daad RISE Germany program, a prestigious internship for undergraduate students from the United States, Canada, and the UK. Through this program, he spent three months in Kaiserslautern, Germany, conducting device research under the mentorship of a dedicated graduate student. As a RISE intern, Toller collaborated with a research group at a top German university, gaining valuable insights and practical skills in electrical engineering.
In addition to his research work, Toller had the chance to explore Europe, traveling to eight countries he had never been to. His favorite parts of the summer included attending the Olympics and watching England play in a Euro 2024 soccer game.
Toller noted, “I want to express my sincere gratitude to the Timothy O’Shaughnessy Foundation and Family for their generous support of my recent summer internship in Kaiserslautern, Germany. Their scholarship funds were instrumental in making this invaluable experience possible. I am truly grateful for the Foundation’s commitment to fostering academic excellence and providing opportunities for students like me. This summer was not only a period of academic and professional growth but also a time of personal enrichment and cultural exploration.”
