SCHOLARSHIP
Congratulations to this year's 2022 Cranberry CUP $2,000 scholarship recipient, Veronica Primenova
Veronica will be attending Carnegie Mellon University in the fall with an interest
in Computer Science and Cyber security. She is fluent in Russian, Spanish, and
Latin and hopes to communicate positive relations between nations while creating
new and safe technology. Her interest in Cyber security began at age 12 when
she created and launched her homemade Slime. Veronica soon found that some-
one had hacked into her account and her online business was gone and thus her
passion in educating students and others about online safety. In 2021, she
volunteered for the Steel City Codes summer camp where she continued to
encourage safe and ethical usage of the internet. She is the co-founder of
Seneca Valley's Slavic Languages and Visibility club (SLAV) and has led the club's
participants in Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh's annual
Olympiada of Spoken Russian. In addition to her love of figure skating, Veronica
is in the National Honor Society and volunteers for many community organizations
and activities. She is president of the SV Women Exploration in Engineering club
where she advocates for women in computing, a Sigma Xi Explorer finalist in
Chemistry Showcase where she designed a catalyst that can be used to clean
ambient air, taught piano and figure skating lessons to many students, as well
as, collected food for local food banks to name a few.
Veronica Pimenova certainly encompasses the characteristics of the
Crannberry CUP Philanthropic Scholarship.
