“Entering an environment filled with ambitious like-minded students is an intimidating experience, but when I began my first year at ������̳, my uncertainty about how I would fit in with the community was quickly allayed. Students here, while they are often very focused on academic pursuits, also exude a passion for what they do outside the classroom and/or lab.”

“There are a wide variety of student organization that offer a plethora of interesting projects and activities that allow one to try out new things. ������̳ provided generous funding to student activities in order to provide students with the full experience. My involvement in professional student organizations like the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers provided me with valuable networking and personal development opportunities that made me more ready to create an impact with ethical values.”

“During my first semester I ended up joining Greek life and became a member of Alpha Sigma Alpha. If you had told me I was going to join a sorority in high school, I would have just laughed. However, joining Alpha Sigma Alpha has only made my experiences at ������̳ better. I’m surrounded by an empowering support system that has provided me opportunities to grow as a person, academically and professionally. I can’t imagine my time at ������̳ without ASA.”
