Tripp King
Personalized Path
Tripp King is a student on the UAB Honors College’s Personalized Path. He is pursuing a major in mechanical engineering from the School of Engineering.
Tripp came to UAB seeking to incorporate a unique honors experience that would complement his major and give him the flexibility needed to enhance his college experience. The Personalized Path continues to fulfil that goal. The support and encouragement from honors instructors has equipped him with the tools and resources needed to be successful and graduate with honors distinction. He credits the Honors College for providing opportunities to meet and connect with businesses and leaders in the community.
During every UAB Homecoming as a student, Tripp has been integral to the Honors College’s success as the Parade Float driver, helping us showcase our themed designs safely around campus. Some of his favorite memories also include the Chili Cookoff as a judge and the faculty dunk tank during the Welcome Back Bash.
Tripp’s campus involvement includes the SAE Baja Capstone Project, SUB25 Student Ministry, and intramural softball and basketball.
In his free time, Tripp enjoys playing with his tournament softball team. However, he enjoys the thrill of hard work, which will prepare him to fulfill his dream of becoming a project manager after graduation.
“The staff and faculty in the Honors College are here to help us succeed – not to watch us fail. Through their support and connections, I have been introduced to companies and individuals who have helped put me in positions to be successful after graduation.”
