What motivated you to become a ClarkLEADER?
I want to become more involved in the engineering activities happening on campus and want to help incoming freshmen!

It's okay to be unsure about your major; most people are! There are many courses exploring what each major focuses on that can help.

What are some organizations or extracurricular activities you think new students should know about?
Women in Engineering was a great club to be involved in for freshman year if you want to meet people in your classes and make friends!

I enjoyed talking with the people in my table and getting a feel for how different college would be.
