Arjun Saravanan, Bauer Excellence Scholar

Arjun Saravanan

High School: Klein Oak High School

What are you passionate about?: Family, learning, new challenges

Why Bauer?: The path to Bauer was definitely an interesting one. I spent my early years in New Orleans, Louisiana, and only moved to Houston because my mom's job relocated after Hurricane Katrina. Soon enough it was my freshman year of high school. I had made some bad grades, and I had no idea what I wanted to pursue in college. It was only in my junior year I found out that my strengths did not lie in teeth or math after my first business competition. My interest in business has brought me here to Bauer. As a Bauer Excellence scholar, I realize that I must strive every day to balance my life through hard work and relentless pursuit.

Another thing I would like to do is expand the outreach and impact of Bauer in the Houston community.

Favorite part of being a Bauer Excellence Scholar?: My favorite thing about Bauer is the vision and the energy associated with this college. Every day I visibly notice students and faculty going out of their way to help others and in turn help Bauer become a better place for learning and development.

Sara Sii, Bauer Excellence Scholar

Sara Sii

What are you passionate about?: Technology.

Why Bauer?: I chose Bauer because I heard it had good Supply Chain and MIS programs. My brother actually was a student here before me, and told me about the opportunities present here. It was also a good fit for me, because I wanted to stay close to home for college.

What was your favorite part of being a Bauer Excellence Scholar?: I like being a part of a smaller community within Bauer filled with such smart and motivated individuals. Hearing what my fellow peers are doing honestly inspires me to continue working hard and do my best as well. The support I received through BES throughout my college career has been irreplaceable.

Fatema Sabir, Bauer Excellence Scholar

What are you passionate about?: I am passionate about doing well in all my endeavors, helping people, and finding a career where I can combine the two so I can help make a difference in people’s lives for a living. In my free time I like to volunteer, work out, rock climb, read, travel, and play board games!

Why Bauer?: I chose Bauer because after sitting in on one class, it felt more like home than any of the other universities I’d visited. It combines the perks of a large public school advantages with the feel of a small college, and that was something I didn’t find anywhere else. Houston is the greatest city and with the Bauer Excellence Scholarship, I’ve been able to experience so many things these past 3 years that I couldn’t have elsewhere.

What was your favorite part of being a Bauer Excellence Scholar?: There are so many perks that came with BES, from the great advisor to the scholarship money to the free stuff to the luncheons with the college Dean and the retreat where we all go away for a weekend just to hang out with each other ... I don't think I can pick a favorite part because there really weren't any bad ones to rule out!
