BOSTON COLLEGE DEFENSIVE LINEMAN EDWIN KOLENGE NAMED GO BOWLING MILITARY BOWL STEM SCHOLAR-ATHLETE PRESENTED BY FOGNIGMA

Boston College defensive lineman Edwin Kolenge, a redshirt junior majoring in human-centered engineering, has been named a Go Bowling Military Bowl STEM Scholar-Athlete presented by Fognigma.

Kolenge, who is from Montreal, has a 2.93 grade-point average. As part of his collaborative service engineering project, Edwin applied his passion for thermodynamics in a project to help people waiting for the bus during the winter by designing thin heating slats that minimally disrupted sidewalk traffic. In his senior capstone course, Kolenge worked with a team of students on an industry-sponsored project to develop an automated dispensing system for instant ice cream that would save energy by removing the requirements to keep ice cream cold prior to eating.

“Edwin is part of one of the first cohorts of B.S. in Human-Centered Engineering majors at Boston College,” the Boston College engineering department said in a statement. “He has dedicated himself to this program and collaborated with his fellow students and faculty to help define what excellence means for BC engineering. Edwin has not only succeeded in the classroom but has also emerged as a leader and problem solver within his project teams.”

The Go Bowling Military Bowl is proud to recognize the members of the fifth annual Go Bowling Military Bowl STEM Scholar-Athlete Program presented by Fognigma, honoring some of the brightest minds competing on the football field in the ACC and the American Conference.

“We are excited to once again present the Go Bowling Military Bowl STEM Scholar-Athlete Program and celebrate the successes of these student-athletes on the field and in the classroom,” Military Bowl Foundation President & Executive Director Steve Beck said. “Along with our partners at Fognigma, we congratulate these young men for their achievements and look forward to their continued success.”

The Go Bowling Military Bowl STEM Scholar-Athlete Program presented by Fognigma honors one football player at each university that is a member of the ACC and the American Conference – the two conferences that are represented in the Go Bowling Military Bowl college football game. These players are studying STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) subjects and/or aspire to STEM careers.

The two players whose teams compete in the 2025 Go Bowling Military Bowl will be recognized at the game, which takes place on Saturday, Dec. 27 at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Md. Kickoff is at 11 a.m. ET and the game will be televised on ESPN. Bowl tickets are on sale now. A donation will be made by Fognigma in the name of these two players to their respective school’s general scholarship fund.
