Meet the Mentors

Finance Club @ MTU

Winter sports, PC building, competitive games, working out

I chose this school because of the great business and computer science programs they have here. Plus, I love winter sports, and being at a school this far north basically lets me ski and skate as much as I want. The trails and beaches are a nice touch, too.

It's been great for my personal and professional development, I've learned a ton about how to develop skills for the workplace. I feel like I found myself here at Tech, and I'm much more confident about my future as a result of my time here so far.

A university like this one is the best place to learn about all the paths in life that you can choose.

Long runs, calisthenics, weightlifting, writing, reading, open world video games, chess, and DnD

Michigan Tech is one of several universities that offers a distinguished Biomedical Engineering program, and offered me the best financial opportunity to pursue my dreams.

My experience at Michigan Tech has made me a more mature, understanding, and supportive person because of its close community and a strong sense of belonging.

The only thing stopping you from achieving success is fear.

Swing Club at MTU, Blue Key Honor Society, Society for Technical Communication, Writing Center Coach

Reading Webtoons, listening and analyzing music, watching video essays, dancing

I was initially inspired to go to Tech through many of my high school robotics mentors to pursue Software Engineering. Now, after finding my own way, I choose to stay because of the welcoming communities I have become a part of. Because the campus is so close together, everything feels familiar now.

My experience here has been challenging, but incredibly gratifying. With the lows of feeling lost and being homesick, there are the highs of finding your new path and the people who make you feel welcomed every time they see you.

Here at Tech, you can have a multitude of possibilities and experiences in your college adventure. You just have to take a chance and pursue your wonders.

Watching movies, reading, listening to music, going on walks, and stargazing.

I chose Michigan Tech because of the environment they cultivate for the students. Everyone is close knit both on and off campus. In addition, I also get to entertain my hobby of stargazing!

The Michigan Tech experience is one of a kind, for me it would range from watching movies with my friends late night on weekends to cheering from the stands as our hockey team makes another goal or 2AM breakfast sessions after coming back from the library studying for exams the upcoming week. 

It's a home away from home.

Playing volleyball, reading, arts and crafts like crocheting, listening to music

I chose this school because I knew I could be a part of a great volleyball program while receiving a renowned STEM education. I also have always enjoyed the outdoors and knew this would be a unique location to attend college.

My experience has been great! I have pursued so many great experiences that have allowed me to explore my academic interests and have prepared me well for my future career.

This campus is a very tight-knit community which makes it easy for you to make friends and form good relationships with your professors.
