Megan Varney '21 (BS, MS)

BS/MS, Physics

While her achievements include earning a position as a resident advisor and completing important research last summer with physics professor Kun-Ta Wu, what’s one of the things Megan’s proudest of since arriving at WPI?

 Learning to solve a Rubik’s Cube.

“It sounds small, but it helped me open up and grow a lot mentally,” she explains. “I always thought it was something that was nearly impossible … being able to solve one on my own helped open my eyes to the fact that I’m able to work hard and gain skills and knowledge to do things I believed were impossible for me to do.”

Megan is excited to jump into her sophomore year with both feet and build a support system through new friends she’ll meet through clubs, organizations, and Greek Life, something she’s confident will help make her years at WPI some of the best of her life.
