A little while ago (about 4 years), I spent my first year as a Stevens student. It was a lot different from any other first-year college experience, mainly due to the large restrictions placed (the main one being that only first-year students were permitted on campus, and even that was optional).
The Stute
In writing this final editorial for The Stute’s 121st volume, I find myself filled with a mix of emotions. Although I am not graduating this year since I’m on a five-year co-op track, I began my journey with many members of the class of 2024 in 2020.
Stevens athletics has truly been a force to be reckoned with, especially after their performances this past year, both on the varsity and club level.
Commencement is a time of great joy and celebration; bringing together graduating seniors, their families, school administrators and faculty, and of course alumni.
Every year at the Innovation Expo, Stevens students showcase their senior design projects. These projects range from creating a high speed electric boat to using Chat-GPT to predict the stock market, to research applications of stereochemistry.
On May 2 at 4:30 p.m., a “random Thursday afternoon,” many Seniors celebrated the end of their careers at Stevens. A procession of a couple hundred students, led by flag bearers Joyce Lin and Attila, commenced from Palmer Lawn to Babbio following the path alongside the UCC and Davis Hall in a tradition known as the Wittpenn Walk.
Internships are difficult to get, especially in this day and age. And with finals creeping up on us, it can be frustrating when you see everyone around you getting one along with a salary while you’re trying to study for finals.
We often take for granted the ubiquitous things that we assume everyone has. Access to clean drinking water, access to food, and access to a warm place to sleep are things we are aware of that not everyone has access to.
This semester, I’ve had a little more time on my hands than I have in the past since I’m a senior and graduation is right around the corner.
As the semester and this column come to an end and the weather becomes increasingly warm, I want to conclude this semester of thrilling exploration with some tips and advice for this summer and future semesters of adventure as a Stevens student — so sit back, relax, enjoy the sun, and embark on this exciting journey of exploration with me!
