Majors: Engineering Science and PhysicsAttends graduate school at Stanford University Rajbhandary is pursuing a master of

science and Ph.D. in electrical engineering

at Stanford University. Within the fi eld of

electrical/biomedical engineering, he plans

to focus his career specifi cally on biomedical

equipment, image reconstruction algorithm,

and digital signal processors (DSP).

From 2004 to 2006, Rajbhandary attended

Budhanilkantha School, the national school of

Nepal. There he was involved in the Science

Club, where he teamed up with another

student in an independent project to make

a sun-tracking solar panel using the simple

potential divider principle. The project

was exhibited at the Royal Academy of

Science and Technology Science Exhibition

2005, where it won the Youth Talent Award.

While at Trinity, Rajbhandary worked on

several undergraduate research projects with

Dr. Jack Leifer in the Trinity Howard Hughes

Medical Institute program; with Dr. Kelly-Zion

in the Thin Film Evaporation group; with

Dr. David Hough’s Very Long Baseline

Imaging research; and with Dr. Gordon

MacAlpine’s Alternative Energy Prototype

project. As the president of The Institute of

Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Trinity

University branch, he was actively involved in

organizing professional events, guest lectures,

exhibitions, and engineering-related activities.

Paurakh Rajbhandary ’11Gabriela Stefania Calderon ’10 Major: International Business and Marketing; Minor: ChineseRalph Lauren Corporation Calderon grew up in Ecuador in and

around the textile industry. Passionate about

global commerce, Calderon wanted to study

Chinese and international business. She took

courses with Trinity’s business administration

department in operations, organizational

behavior, international management, and

global marketing. “One of the reasons I chose

Trinity was because it had a positive internation-

al admissions presence in Ecuador,” Calderon

says. “I was especially interested in speaking

Chinese and studying abroad in Asia, and

Trinity has a great East Asian studies program.

My scholarship was transferable to my study

abroad program, and Trinity made it a very

easy process.”

Upon graduation, Calderon moved to

New York City. It was through Mao Public

Relations that Calderon helped to promote

fashion shows. Through this experience, she

networked with clients in the fashion and

apparel industries and landed a contract with

Gucci in their New York e-commerce group,

helping them to launch their web presence in

Europe and Asia. She then joined Polo Ralph

Lauren’s Global Organizational Management

team within the department of human resources.

Calderon partners with international divisions in

Asia and Europe and is responsible for serving

27,000 employees worldwide.

“My time at Trinity was extremely relevant

to my career. The focus on international

business and Chinese prepared me for my

current role at Ralph Lauren,” Calderon says.

“Trinity has such amazing resources

considering its small size. I really loved the

small classes,” Calderon says. “Coming from

a close-knit family, I wanted to attend a small

university with a strong sense of community.

When I visited, I felt an immediate connection

to the people I met; it felt like home to me. I

found myself very connected to friends and

faculty. It was so important for me to have had

that community.”

Alex Peterson ’05 Majors: Political Science and ReligionAttends graduate school atYale University After graduation Peterson became a

Peace Corps National Coordinator for

HIV/AIDS and Gender and Youth

Development programs in Ghana.

He collaborated on and monitored projects

providing HIV training to more than 18,000

Ghanaians in multiple regions.

Peterson also helped educate young

women in Ghana about their reproductive and

educational rights. He mentored women and

taught them about educational scholarship

programs so they were encouraged to stay in

school. “We didn’t tell their parents they have

to send their girls to school, but we did offer

help to those who wanted it and were not able

to fi nd it.” Not an easy task in a place where

there was no running water or electricity, and

where the average 10’ x 20’ shelter housed six

or seven family members.

While at Trinity, Peterson was a founder

and president of Habitat for Humanity and

a Trinity Volunteer Action Committee

executive board member. “Tucker Gibson

[department of political science] was instru-

mental in teaching us to know who we are

and how we can help other people –

help our brothers and sisters.”

“ I went into Trinity a big believer in the liberal arts, and I still am. A liberal arts education exposed us to numerous disciplines and

prepared us for the future. Learning how to learn has been essential to me in my career.”

Major: Spanish Juris Doctorate candidate at the University of Texas School of Law, Austin In the summer of 2011, Rodriguez traveled

to Madrid with Trinity University’s Mexico, the

Americas, and Spain (MAS) program. There

she took a six-week class, interning full-time

at the Centro Hispano-Paraguayo, a center

created by the city to help immigrants

integrate successfully in Spain.

On campus, Rodriguez served as a peer

tutor for a bilingual fi rst-year seminar on the

human experience. “We talked about what it’s

like to be a Cuban American and how to mesh

your cultural values with American values when

you immigrate here,” says Rodriguez.

Following graduation, she interned with

a law fi rm in Houston. “My experience at

Trinity was incredibly helpful in preparing

for law school. My professors helped me

hone my skills in critical thinking and analysis.

Trinity prepared me to be a global citizen –

it opened me to literature, culture, and a

different way of thinking.”

Jessica Rodriguez ‘12

Majors: French and ChineseFacebook Hagen decided to study abroad in France,

where he interned with Paris Cinéma. There he

became a translator for presidents, CEOs, and

other VIPs attending the Paris Film Festival.

“I spent countless hours at Trinity with

my Chinese and French professors, speaking

those languages and brainstorming about all

of the possibilities in life,” says Hagen. “I have

never admired a group of people more than

my professors. Trinity advanced my skills in

writing for public relations and speaking

foreign languages. Career Services helped

me immensely in my job search by subjecting

me to mock interviews.”

As an intern with public relations and

communications giant Fleishman-Hillard in

Bejing, he wrote speeches for the president of

Mercedes-Benz to deliver at auto shows. It was

through his contacts with Fleishman-Hillard that

Hagen found a full-time position at Facebook

upon graduation.

Killian Hagen ’10

Dirk Elmendorf ’97 Major: International EconomicsRackspace Hosting and r26D Dirk Elmendorf co-founded Rackspace

Hosting with two fellow Trinity graduates.

Until 2009, Elmendorf acted as chief technol-

ogy evangelist, promoting the technology

that makes Rackspace unique. Currently

Elmendorf is a partner and lead architect for

r26D, a company specializing in cloud-based

software for small businesses.

Elmendorf often shares his start-up

business expertise as a member of Trinity

University’s Career Network and has spoken

at several alumni and student professional

networking events. “It’s great to know that

Trinity is providing budding entrepreneurs

with programs like Trinity Tomorrow and

the Three-Day Startup weekends so that

they have more time to focus on their

products, and connect with the community

and fellow entrepreneurs.”

Dr. Ana Unruh Cohen ’96Major: ChemistrySenior Policy Advisor, Washington, D.C. Ana Unruh Cohen was one of Trinity’s

fi rst Rhodes Scholars and holds a doctorate

in geochemistry from Oxford University. Follow-

ing her graduation from Oxford, she accepted

a science and technology fellowship through a

program with the American Association for the

Advancement of Science that sends scientists

to Capitol Hill. She joined the offi ce of U.S.

Rep. Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) for four years.

Unruh Cohen then worked in environmental

policy at the Center for American Progress,

a nonpartisan research and educational

institute. Currently she works in Washington

as a senior policy advisor with a focus on

environmental policy.

Unruh Cohen strives to make science

relevant to the public and to policymakers.

“Trinity showed me that science was just

the foundation of an incredible career. I’ve found

myself in policy jobs because my strength is

communicating technical and scientifi c issues to

the broader public. A lot of that comes straight

out of my liberal arts education, where I learned

to think critically and communicate effectively.”
