Rather than forcing a distinction between equally exceptional individuals whose achievements span very different disciplines, the committee chose to recognize both. Caleb and Marielle represent an exceptional level of achievement, curiosity, and commitment to impact that defines the very best of Georgia Tech undergraduates.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch2\u003EBuilding a Business Career\u003C\/h2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFinance captured Caleb Adams\u2019 attention early, sparked in part by conversations with his father \u2014 a Georgia Tech mechanical engineering alumnus \u2014 and solidified when Adams bought his first stock at 13. Captivated by the way investing touches everything and everyone in the economy, Adams set his sights on an education in Georgia Tech\u2019s Scheller College of Business.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EA Stamps President\u2019s Scholar, Adams embraced the scholarship\u2019s emphasis on academic excellence, leadership, and service. His academic path was shaped as much by the classroom as by the opportunities he pursued beyond it.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAdams has immersed himself in campus life, seeking experiences that have allowed him to explore finance in academic and extracurricular settings while consistently finding opportunities to give back to his peers. One of the most influential was his role on the Georgia Tech Student Foundation Investments Committee, where he served as technology sector head and managed a $300,000 portfolio. Working with actual money and real stakes, he sharpened his financial modeling and presentation skills while directing funding back to student organizations across campus.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAs a Scheller Business Ambassador, Adams welcomed prospective students and families and had the space to share student perspectives with college leadership. That commitment to helping others navigate business and finance also showed up in his participation in the Scheller Mentor Program, hosting personal finance education workshops, and working as a teaching assistant for an accounting course he took as a first-year student. In earlier semesters, Adams explored finance and strategy through the Venture Capital Club, Undergraduate Consulting Club, and Emerging Leaders Advisory Board.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EHis journey was intentional from the start, and faculty who have worked with him recognize him for his accomplishments and everything it took to get there.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cblockquote\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cEven as a first-year student, Caleb wasn\u2019t just chasing the next opportunity,\u201d noted Craig Womack, associate dean for undergraduate programs at Scheller. \u201cHe was thoughtful about how each experience connected to the kind of person and leader he wanted to become.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/blockquote\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWomack was instrumental in Adams\u2019 decision to attend Georgia Tech, providing guidance before Adams began as a first-year and helping connect him with professors and organizations that would influence his academic and professional journeys.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAdams\u2019 intentionality extended beyond the classroom, and when finance wasn\u2019t capturing his attention, travel offered another way for him to feed his curiosity of how the world works. In 2025, Adams helped organize the Academic Search for Knowledge trip to Japan for fellow Stamps President\u2019s Scholars, which helped his goal of visiting every continent and further broadened his global perspective.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe focus and discipline characterizing Adams\u2019 academic journey has also guided him through a demanding slate of internships, including roles at Capital One, Airbnb, AeroVect, and ultimately Morgan Stanley, where he earned a full-time offer and will begin his career as an investment banking analyst in New York City after graduation. Working for Morgan Stanley had been his goal long before his first day of college.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cIt\u2019s definitely an intense job,\u201d he acknowledged, \u201cbut it\u2019s incredibly interesting, high-value work. The exposure you get, the training you get, the skills and networks \u2014 they\u2019re unbeatable and unmatched.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAs he prepares to graduate and step into the fast pace of Wall Street, Adams sees the award less as a finish line and more of a reminder of where he started and the community that shaped him along the way.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cMore than anything, it\u2019s solidified how connected I feel to Tech,\u201d he said. \u201cI want to stay involved and give back so future students have the same kind of support and opportunity I did.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch2\u003EFinding Joy \u2014 and Purpose \u2014 in the Lab\u003C\/h2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhere Adams found his footing in finance, Marielle Frooman discovered hers in the lab, driven by an insatiable curiosity and infectious enthusiasm for chemistry.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFrooman was drawn to Georgia Tech by its research culture and the energy of its student community. She joined her first lab early in her undergraduate career, unsure of exactly where that path would lead, but eager to get hands-on experience as soon as possible.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFor two years, Frooman conducted biochemistry and structural biology research in the McShan Lab, working under Andrew McShan, assistant professor in the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry. Frooman\u2019s time in the McShan Lab was foundational in shaping her technical abilities and preparing her for a research-intensive career.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cI had never done research before, and I wasn\u2019t equipped to handle the amount of failure that comes with it,\u201d Frooman said, reflecting on the formative experience. \u201cProfessor McShan really helped me change my outlook, to see failure as a learning experience and to use it to push a project forward.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EMcShan described Frooman as an exceptional undergraduate researcher and peer leader.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cblockquote\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cMarielle is not only an extremely talented researcher, but also a caring mentor and motivated future leader who wants to change the world,\u201d they said. \u201cShe is the best undergraduate researcher I have ever worked with, and I guarantee she will make a big impact in whatever field she chooses to pursue.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/blockquote\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThat strong biochemistry foundation gave Frooman the confidence to follow where her curiosity led next. After falling in love with organic chemistry through coursework and serving as a synthesis lab Teaching Assistant and organic chemistry peer tutor, she transitioned into researching with Will Gutekunst, associate professor in the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry. The shift built directly on the skills she developed in the McShan Lab while clarifying her long-term goals of pursuing graduate study and eventually contributing to the synthetic field as an academic researcher.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThat trajectory has already earned her national recognition. Frooman is a 2026 recipient of the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program for chemical synthesis and was also named one of the year\u2019s Outstanding Undergraduate Biochemistry or Chemical Biology Students by the American Chemical Society\u2019s (ACS) Division of Biochemistry and Chemical Biology.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOutside of research, Frooman\u2019s energy spills into nearly every corner of campus life. She has served as president of the Student Affiliates of the ACS, president of Cleanup Crew, president of public relations for the GT tour guides, and an active member of Greek life \u2014 all while pursuing research and mentoring fellow students.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cEverything I do, I do because I love it,\u201d she said. \u201cIf I wasn\u2019t this busy, I\u2019d feel like I was missing out on something that really matters to me.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAs Frooman heads toward graduation and prepares to pursue a Ph.D. in Chemistry at the University of Michigan, receiving the Love Award feels deeply validating, both personally and for those who helped get her here.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cIt\u2019s invigorating,\u201d Frooman said, reflecting on the honor. \u201cIt\u2019s a culmination of my undergraduate work, but even more, it\u2019s a testament to how supportive this community has been over my four years here.
