Olivia has loved coding since she was 10. She also enjoys sailing. She’s able to do both at Michigan Tech, studying for her software engineering degree in the College of Computing and joining the MTU Sailing Club.
The faculty in Michigan Tech's College of Computing exceeded my expectations. Each faculty member I have met has been supportive, even if it was my first time meeting them. It's intimidating to go into a computing field, but the faculty have instilled a confidence in me that I didn't even know was possible.
