How did NDSU set you up for success after graduation?
I have had a wealth of opportunities here that have not only prepared me for a career, but prepared me for how to be a professional. 在这里，我对自己和我的激情有了很多了解，教职员工也为我提供了空间，让我在专业和个人方面探索这些激情. I feel ready to jump into work after graduation, I am excited for it.

I would have to say my senior design class this spring. 该项目结合了我们在过去几年所学到的所有课堂知识，并允许我们将其乐虎集团到法戈-Moorhead地区的当前基础设施项目中. 这个小组项目确实鼓励解决问题和创新，这与我们将在行业中所做的工作非常相似. 也, 我们有客座讲师来谈论与追求成功事业相关的不同主题.
What is a lesson you learned as a student that you’ll take with you?
Step out of your comfort zone and try new things. 如果你不尝试更广泛的事物，你就无法知道你对什么充满激情. Make any opportunity you receive into a learning opportunity. The worst that can happen is you learn that something isn’t your favorite. 建立自信，走出自己的舒适区，利用周围发生的事情，是我学到的最好的一课.
