Orgs and Teams

Build Your Network

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. Student groups connect you with people who have different perspectives but similar affinities, academic programs and professional aspirations.  

Practice Your Purpose: Student Organizations | Wilson Student Projects Center | Women in Science and Engineering (WISE)

When you take world-class academics and pair it with real-world hands-on experience, you will be in high demand wherever you choose to go.
