I was a very open and adventurous first-year. After I went on Quest and discovered that I did not hate being outdoors, I began to open myself up to new things that I would normally stay away from. This also allowed me to meet diverse groups of people. Although I was not in a bubble in my hometown, I now realize that there are so many types of people that I would never have met if I had stayed in the Midwest. I was pretty ignorant on social issues but excited to learn about them.

Which professor has influenced you the most? Why? Dr. Lisa-Anne Foster has been my adviser since my first semester at Trinity. She has made my Trinity experience so extraordinary. I began doing research in her lab after my sophomore year and am now writing my honors thesis on that same research! She is a fantastic professor and mentor who has guided me both in the classroom and the lab. I cannot imagine my time here without her. She has always been available for whatever I needed, and I will always be grateful for her guidance and support.
MARK C. BOULANGER MEMORIAL SCHOLAR Majors: computer science, engineering Hometown: Brooklyn, New York Awards and honors: Faculty Honors; NESCAC All-Academic Team Extracurricular activities: member, football team What is the most important thing you have learned at Trinity? The most important thing I have learned at Trinity is that success has a price, and nothing comes easily. If you have a goal in the classroom, on the field, or wherever, you must make sacrifices to achieve it. When you succeed, it’s all worth it.
