Lindsey Bass named first Glen Salmon Scholar
Dual major in
ME and vocal
performance

Lindsey Bass, of Pasadena,
Maryland, was the inaugural
recipient of the Glen E. Salmon
Scholarship for Multidisciplinary
Studies.
The scholarship is designed for
recipients who are upper-level
undergraduates with a major in
either the College of Science or
the College of Engineering and
who also have a minor or second
major outside those colleges.
Bass is a senior working toward
two separate degrees – one in
mechanical engineering in the
College of Engineering and a
second in vocal performance in
the College of Liberal Arts and
Human Sciences. She is also an
Honors College student.
“I enjoy applying the talents
I gain from both engineering
and music to all endeavors, and
through this well-rounded approach to education, I am confident that I will be well-prepared
to bring society a more stable,

safe, and efficient future,” Bass
said.
After Bass earns both bachelor’s
degrees, she plans to pursue an
accelerated master’s degree in
mechanical engineering at Virginia
Tech. She hopes to pursue either
an industry or research career in
the additive manufacturing field.
After seeing the value of a
diverse background in his own
career, Glen Salmon created the
scholarship to encourage students

to branch out and learn more
than one discipline. A self-proclaimed generalist, Salmon is
currently a u ser experience
designer and office MacGyver for
Bradán Lane Studio, after retiring
from a career with IBM and other
technology corporations.
Applications for next year’s
Glen Salmon Scholarship are
due May 1, 2017, with decisions
being made later that month.
