Student Voice

"When I first came to WPI, I thought I would spend all my time studying for class, but I have also had the opportunity to meet and work with many people who share my passions and interests and who cheer me on in my endeavors. Whether it's music, education, or climate change. I have been challenged to broaden my horizons and connect my computer science work with other subjects."
