Introducing some of the members of the class of 2021, meet Remiah Sundine, from Chili, New York.

In high school, Remiah Sundine started a “yodeling and goats club.”

“It’s funny and random and attracts people’s attention,” she explains. “The purpose was to create a safe environment after school where students could come if they didn’t want to go home yet. I want to start one here, too. We can have cookies, look at yodeling videos and look at goats.”

Sundine, who grew up in Minnesota, is named after her father, Jeremiah, who died when she was 2. When she was 16, her mother died, sending her and her four younger siblings to the Rochester area to live with their aunt, uncle, and cousins. Sundine says she may not have even pursued college if she weren’t selected as a Handler Scholar last March.

“I never had the financial resources,” she says. “It was the best thing that could happen to me.”

An avid dancer who also enjoys competitive math, Sundine is interested in studying brain and cognitive sciences, with an eye toward earning a doctoral degree and researching drug and alcohol addiction.

While at Rochester, she plans on joining the dance performance ensemble Louvre, among other clubs.
