What do you most enjoy about SEAS?
My favorite thing about SEAS is that there are so many ways to get involved outside of classes. For example, I am an active member of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) where I hold an executive board position and I am a member of the steel bridge team. Getting involved in ASCE was a great way to meet people with the same major and interests as myself and gain leadership experience as well as experience in interesting projects. SEAS has many clubs and extra-curricular activities that will pique the interest of almost any engineering student and are a great way to get involved in the school and meet new people.
