Molly OConnell

Molly O’Connell is entering her senior year at Calvin University’s Life and Career Studies program this fall as this year’s Ruby’s Rainbow Tate The Great Scholarship Award recipient, studying Early Childhood Education with graduation expected in Spring 2027.

Molly recently became certified in child and infant CPR/AED, a proud step toward her goal of working as an Elementary School Paraprofessional in her hometown school district. Making her senior year even sweeter, her twin sister will be starting grad school in the same city this year, just seven miles apart, something Molly couldn’t be more excited about.

Molly loves concerts and karaoke, and she has a wide circle of friends she enjoys simply hanging out with.

Congratulations on your senior year, Molly! What a special way to close out your time at Calvin, so close to your twin again.
