Why did you choose to come to Penn State? The aerospace program at PSU is top notch and the campus has so much to offer outside of engineering. I love getting involved in a variety of things!

 

What is your best Penn State or engineering memory? Going to hockey games with my friends

 

What advice would you give a first-year engineer? Try to read your textbooks ahead of time and/or get a week ahead on your homework. You never know when you would appreciate the cushion you've built into your study schedule.

 

What is a fun fact about yourself? I've been to 25 of the 50 US states and 6 countries

 

Emily is a sophomore studying Aerospace Engineering
