Hello! I knew when going through the college decision process that I wanted a welcoming, tight knit community, and that is exactly what WPI feels like to me. Some other reasons I came to WPI include the IQP being built into the WPI plan as well as the 7 week term schedule so I could take different classes more frequently. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
Outside of Class
SAS is in charge of maintaining all of WPI's student traditions such as the Rope Pull, Haunted Higgins House, Founders Day, and more throughout the year. We are also in charge of the school mascot Gompei and this is me goatkeeping, which is basicly being Gompeis bodyguard and hype person.
AGD is one of the best parts of my WPI experience as I am a part of a diverse culture of women who are always there for each other. I fully believe that if I did not attend WPI, I would not have joined a sorority, however Greek Life on this campus is such an open and inviting experience that I recommend.
I work in one of the off campus photonics research labs where we are using Time-Domain Terahertz Spectroscopy to perform a variety of experiments, including vaccine research, conductivity, and flexible metals. I was able to start research early by simply asking my professor about opportunities, so a big piece of advice from me is to ask as many questions and people as you can, and you will find an opportunity.
