The job involves applied computer science and lots of 3D printing, making it extremely interesting and rewarding. She is also a part of CMU’s Outreach360 organization, a selective club that fundraises every year for a small group of students to assist teachers and work with young students in the Dominican Republic. Finally, she is working on a personal photography website, which is based on her old drone company website she made while she was at Peddie. She plans to release it by the end of the academic year.

For Giulia Marolda, this first year at New York University has been quite the whirlwind — being a part of Tisch’s drama program means she is in studio training from 9:00 a.m.6:00 p.m. three days a week, and tackling the rest of her academic courses on the remaining two weekdays! Nonetheless, however busy her academic schedule would prove to be, she wanted to find time to participate in an a cappella group, which is an aspiration of hers ever since middle school. She was lucky enough to be accepted into the NYU N’Harmonics, Tisch’s premier a cappella group, and bond with some of the most talented people she’s ever met. They competed in the regional ICCA quarterfinals, taking first place, special awards for best vocal percussion, choreography and solo performance, as well as a chance to compete at semifinals at Boston Symphony Hall in March. Regardless of the outcome, she feels so grateful to be a part of this new family, and she looks forward
