2023 Military Technologies Students

STUDENTS

College can be an especially formative time of one's life; it is a chance for individual progress and development. Undergrads continue to capture what they want to pursue and develop many of the imperative skills to be a successful member of society. But learning is more than what one learns in the classroom - the late nights discussing James Baldwin with a classmate, the life lesson gained from an eccentric instructor, the exposure to a different attitude. Therefore, finding a diverse college greatly enriches what one gains from the time in university.
