David Molay '10 wins Sterling Award at Stanford University

The J. E. Wallace Sterling Award for Scholastic Achievement is based on overall academic performance and is presented to the top 25 students of each year’s graduating senior class in the School of Humanities and Sciences. President Sterling, for whom the award was named, was a distinguished Chancellor and former President of the university.  It was during his tenure, from 1949 to 1968, that Stanford achieved national prominence, in part through Sterling’s efforts to create “steeples of excellence,” clusters of top scholars that would attract the best students in the country.

 

A very special part of this award is the in-person recognition of the a high school teacher whom the recipients name as having most influenced their scholastic career. For this honor, David chose Frank Lopez, Greenhill Photography teacher.

 

David will complete his degree in Math and Computational Science this spring.
