Dr. Rhonda Gaede discusses why she gives
"I give for the reason I teach, to make a difference in the lives of students."
I was born in San Antonio, Texas where I graduated from MacArthur High School . Then, I went to Southern Methodist University (SMU) and received a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. While in school at SMU, I worked for Rockwell International as part of the cooperative education program. After graduation, I moved from Dallas to Austin to work for Motorola, Inc. as a Product Engineer in the Microprocessor Division. I received my Master's Degree and my PhD, both in EE, from the University of Texas at Austin. While in graduate school, I met and married Glen Long. We have two boys, one a civil engineering student at Georgia Tech and one a senior in high school. Since 1991, my family and I have lived in Alabama. I have been teaching in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at UAHuntsville since 1992.
Scholarship Established in Memory of UAHuntsville Student
Students at UAHuntsville may soon see their academic pursuits shine a little brighter, while one young woman's aspiration will be fulfilled. Sarah Chapman, marketing major and communication arts minor, passed away last year after a tragic bicycling accident near campus.
Days before her death, Sarah told several of her friends that she wanted to be remembered as a "ray of sunshine" that brightened everyone's day. Now, friends, family, and many others who knew Sarah have all come together to make sure that it becomes a reality. Charles and Gloria Chapman have established the Sarah Chapman "Ray of Sunshine" Memorial Scholarship Fund in memory of their daughter.
