“My time at Charlotte has been a very unique experience. Meeting people of different backgrounds through Tau Beta Pi, Gold Rush Robotics and the Engineering Leadership Academy, and collaborating with industry partners on interdisciplinary, realworld projects within our curriculum has set me up for what lies ahead. I don’t believe I would get an education like this at any other university. I feel like I came to Charlotte at the right time. The university is growing and I’m growing along with it.”

“Coming from a foreign country, I experienced the vast differences between growing up in different cultures. I was always curious about how these different backgrounds and environmental conditions would impact people’s lives, so I chose to major in public health. Because of the increasing diversity and opportunities at Charlotte, I was able to learn more about my community and the resources that will help me with my academic and future career!”
