Biomedical engineering student Kalani Headen watched movie characters like Robocop and the Bionic Woman and wondered if it would be possible to create similar technology-enabled enhancements for people whose physical functions had been impaired by neural damage.

“My whole life I have desired to help people in any way I can,” says Kalani, “even if it’s a small thing.”

Kalani wants to develop neural prostheses to provide functional and operable limbs that can be controlled by the user, specifically an exoskeletal system that can be used to help treat spinal injuries and monitor the body’s neural system.

“I hope one day I can give everyone a better life than they could’ve imagined,” he says.

When applying to colleges, Kalani narrowed his targets to Arizona State University and a few equally prestigious research universities. He felt his personality and skill set would best be suited to ASU with its top-tier professors who he knew would give him the challenge he needed.

ASU’s diversity also presented opportunities for him to meet people from different backgrounds and to network with them.

“Education will always be important to understand how the world works and how it operates. Regardless of your major, it is important to never let the desire to learn fade away,” Kalani says. “However, do not get so wrapped up in learning everything that you forget to enjoy your college experience and have fun.”

Air traffic management student Rachael Shantz always thought that she wanted to leave her home state of Arizona for college, but it didn’t take long for her to realize Arizona State University was the perfect school for her. The combination of having family nearby, familiarity with the area and the unique offerings of The Polytechnic School in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering was too good for Rachael to pass up.

“As it turned out, I only applied to ASU because I knew it was the right fit for me.”

Rachael says.

Growing up, Rachael enjoyed playing with air traffic control simulators with her father.

Her curiosity for aviation has helped her build a network and thrive at ASU. Her academic success is enhanced by her role as a Fulton Ambassador.

“I love being an Ambassador because I love being able to help prospective students determine whether or not [The Polytechnic School] is a good fit for them,” Rachael says.

Her favorite part of her ASU experience? The people.

“I have met so many wonderful people at ASU. From professors to friends, I have made relationships here that will last me a lifetime.”

After graduating, Rachael plans to pursue a Master’s degree in aviation management and human factors through the Fulton Schools’ 4+1 program, which Rachael says, “really provides me with the ability to be well-rounded, so I can decide which facet of aviation I love the most.”

Electrical engineering student Kin Tung (Edward) Cheung came to ASU as a transfer student and he quickly learned the experience is much different than that of first-year arrivals.

“I found the most challenging part to be discovering the many ASU resources and how to take advantage of them effectively,” says Edward. “I think it is important to step out of your comfort zone and attend an organization’s welcome fair or check out the tutoring center and see how it works.”

During his first semester at ASU, Edward found his way to a career fair.

“I received lots of emails about workshops and events that could help students to build a better resume and prepare for interviews,” says Edward.

This was Edward’s first fair, so he was nervous. But he made up his mind to attend every workshop and see what he could learn.

“I made some friends during those workshops and one of them worked in the Engineering Career Center,” Edward says. “A semester later, he actually asked if I was interested in joining the Career Center team because he saw my hard work in preparation for the career fair.”

Edward has now worked as an undergraduate peer career coach for two semesters and is also a transfer peer mentor.

“I could not be a coach and support others’ career planning if I had not started with those workshops that first semester,” he says. “Always get out of your comfort zone and keep trying.”
