College/school and major/minors: I was a part of SES for my major in computer science.
Plans after graduation: After I graduate, I will intern with Amazon this summer as a Software Development Engineer Intern, followed by returning to receive a degree through Stevens AMP in computer science with a certificate in machine learning.
After hosting almost 30 events this semester in total, the Entertainment Committee (EC) celebrated the end of the semester with their biggest on-campus event of the year: Techfest.
Each year, multiple Senior Design Projects are entered into the Ansary Entrepreneurship Competition to win up to $10,000. Entrants must make an elevator pitch showcasing their project to prospective investors and endure three rounds of judging, at the end of which the top three teams are then announced and celebrated at the Innovation Expo.
For the 150th Commencement Ceremonies for the Class of 2022, Stevens has invited two distinguished figures to serve as the commencement speakers.
In an email sent out on May 2, Stevens announced the removal of physical education as a degree requirement. This applies to all incoming students, as well as waiving any remaining classes for current students.
Graduating from college can feel very definitive. It’s the end of this beautiful and strange era of pseudo-adulthood in which you think you’ve learned everything there is to be learned and know about almost everything there is to know.
“So, Lauren, how was your freshman year?” my friends from home and distant family members ask. Well, I’m nearly positive that it is the most expected and cliché subject for a first-year student to write about in her final Mind of a Freshman column, but I’m coming clean in plain terms this time, instead of writing in metaphor as per usual.
Have you ever passed by a river and paused to stare at your reflection? You’ll find that the image peering back at you looks just like you, but jagged and misshapen from the waves of the water.
As graduation approaches, I’m faced head-on with the “lasts.” Last class, last critique, last assignment. These things come at the end of every semester, but this time feels unique.
