Shorewood grad awarded research fellowship at Johns Hopkins

Caitlin Jacques, who graduated from Shorewood High School in 2007, has moved to Baltimore, Maryland, where she is a fully-funded Research Fellow in the Johns Hopkins University PhD program in Civil Engineering.

In May, she graduated from Harvey Mudd College (HMC) in Claremont, California, where she earned her B.S. in engineering. During the last two and a half years at HMC, Caitlin was a DePietro Fellow in Civil Engineering, where she did extensive graduate school level research.

She also was principal cellist of the Claremont Colleges Orchestra, cello in a string quintet, acted, directed, and costumed a production of A Midsummer’s Night Dream, performed as part of a ballroom dancing group, and sang. She plans to continue with the arts, as well as her engineering research, at Johns Hopkins.
