Meet The New “Class of 1969” Scholar – Maddie Hoffman
Madeline Hoffman ’19 is our 1969 Scholarship beneficiary.
Maddie is an intensive chemistry major, and she reports additional interests in chemical engineering and physics. She puts her engineering skills to work as lead of the earth science sub-team for the Yale Undergraduate Rover Association, and she also captains our club swimming team.
Reflecting on her years at Yale, Maddie writes ‘I’ve learned how to branch out of my comfort zone and really work hard at problems. I’ve also grown as a person because of the people I’ve met here who have shared their unique experiences with me.”
Last summer she traveled to Berlin with Yale Summer Session and credits the program with helping her to vastly improve her German language skills. During her time there, she spoke the language constantly and was able to “explore a new culture more fully and go beyond the tourist destinations.”
Maddie writes: “I’d also like to again express my sincere gratitude to the class of 1969 for your generous scholarship; it has made my time at Yale possible and academically and personally enriching. I appreciate every opportunity that Yale has allowed me to take advantage of and I’m looking forward to seeing what senior year will bring!”
