Jacob Walker, U-M Class of 2027, LSA
Major Field of Study: Economics
Hello, my name is Jacob Walker, and I am honored to be a recipient of the U-M Club of Houston Scholarship. I am a senior at the University of Michigan majoring in Economics, and I am grateful for the Club’s continued support of students from the Houston area. One of the most meaningful parts of my Michigan experience has been being surrounded by students, alumni, and faculty who are constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible through innovation and entrepreneurship. UofM’s ambition and willingness to create meaningful impact have inspired me to think bigger and pursue opportunities that challenge me to grow. I look forward to continuing to represent both Houston and Michigan with pride. Thank you again to the U-M Club of Houston for your generosity and support. Go Blue!
