Belimo, an international HVAC manufacturer headquartered in Danbury, and University of Connecticut leadership are celebrating a partnership that will support several young engineers with scholarship and hands-on work experience.

Six UConn Engineering students are being supported every year thanks to the generous Belimo Scholar’s Program Scholarship.

The first two students were recognized in a facility tour event on Friday evening at Belimo’s Americas Region Headquarters at 33 Turner Road in Danbury.

Rohan Anderson and Lauren Guo were recognized by UConn President Radenka Maric, Belimo President James Furlong, as well as several other UConn, UConn Foundation and Belimo representatives.

“We value our partners at Belimo and the lasting impact they will have on these students,” Maric said. “With industry support, our students and alumni can move the needle forward in cleaner
manufacturing.”

The UConn School of Engineering is an epicenter for research and engineering education in the State of Connecticut and beyond. Sixty-five percent of UConn Engineering graduates are employed in Connecticut.

Belimo is a global market leader in the development, production, and sales of field devices for the
energy-efficient control of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems.

“It’s a true pleasure to invite the next generation of engineers into our facilities today,” said Furlong. “We’re proud to support our flagship university, invest in these students and build toward the future economy of our state.”

Anderson is a sophomore from Hartford studying Computer Science and Engineering. He hopes to pursue a concentration in software development or cybersecurity. Anderson is a member of the National Society of Black Engineers.

Guo is a sophomore from Monroe studying Mechanical Engineering with a concentration in design and manufacturing, as well as aerospace. She is a member of the controls and ergonomics system of the Formula SAE program at UConn, a collegiate competition in which students design, build and race a formula-style vehicle with a top speed of 80 miles per hour.

In addition to the summer internships offered to Anderson, Guo and others, Belimo will continue to tap into the talented students and alumni from the UConn School of Engineering through Senior Design Demonstration projects and other partnerships.
