GSC position: WSE department representative
I really love what GSC is doing in order to help grad students have better social and academic experiences. When I first arrived here, I could easily sense the positive culture and vibes, and it was obviously different from what I had experienced in engineering schools. So, as a WSE grad student, I will be trying to extend this friendliness and dynamism to our Engineering culture.
