Names in the News: Full ’15’s Clever Design, Cabral ’12 Runs at World Championships, and More

EDEN FULL ’15 , the engineer, entrepreneur, and Thiel Fellow featured in PAW’s March 6, 2103, cover story , has continued to pursue innovative solutions to generating power and providing clean water for communities in developing countries. Design News called the latest version of Full’s SunSaluter “a clever idea to address these two problems simultaneously.” TerraCycle, the Trenton, N.J., waste recycling start-up that TOM SZAKY ’05 founded as a Princeton freshman, is the focus of an ongoing reality TV series, Human Resources . Szaky, who dropped out of college to build the company, told The New York Times that he hopes “to show that doing good can also create revenue and phenomenal value.” Congressional candidate LINDY LI ’12 faces an uphill battle as she tries to unseat three-term incumbent Rep. Pat Meehan in Pennsylvania’s 7th district in 2016. But according to a recent Washington Post profile, Li has a stubborn confidence and the “special brand of optimism” of the millennial generation. If elected, she would be the youngest woman in the history of the U.S. Congress. Track star DONN CABRAL ’12 finished 10th in the men’s 3,000-meter steeplechase at the IAAF World Championships in Beijing Aug. 24. Kenya dominated the race, capturing the three medal positions and the fourth-place slot as well. Cabral, one of three Americans in the top 10, told Runner’s World that he was not happy with his race. “This is probably the least I’ve managed to show up when it counts,” he said. “That said, I’m not going to bang my head about it for too long. I think I had a great season.” Gen. MARK A. MILLEY ’80 was sworn in as the U.S. Army’s 39th chief of staff Aug. 14. In his first official remarks, he spoke about the nation’s preparedness for conflicts of many kinds. “As America, we have no luxury of a single opponent,” Milley said, according to The Washington Post . “We have to be able to fight guerrillas and terrorists all the way up through nation-state militaries. If we do not maintain our commitment to remain strong in the air, on the sea and yes, on the ground, then we will pay the butcher’s bill in blood, and we will forever lose the precious gift of our freedom.”
