Adam Hawk
Digital Fabrication & Design
“There’s not many blacksmithing programs at a university in the country or in the world. I think that’s pretty exciting and rare. This is an art program, but the physicality of it is something that drew me in, too.”
Rebecca Neumann
Economics
“We really do care about our students and want them to succeed. That’s at all levels: Pushing students to get better, step outside their comfort zone and take classes they wouldn’t normally think about taking.”
Wilkistar Otieno
Engineering
“For our Senior Design Project teams, all of their engineering projects come from industry partners. We hope to educate students who will go on and join those companies. Our students don’t linger too much without getting jobs. ”
