2020
THE NYU ALMA MATER The Palisades
O grim, grey Palisades, thy shadow
Upon the rippling Hudson falls, And mellow mingled tints of sunset
Illumine now our classic halls; While students gather ‘round thy altars With tributes of devotion true, And mingle merry hearts and voices In praise of NYU.
But college friendship all must sever, And fade as does the dying day, And closest kinships all be broken As out in life we wend our way; And yet, whatever be life’s fortune, Through mem’ry fails and friends be few We’ll love thee still, our Alma Mater Our dear old NYU.

We will be the engine of innovation for Brooklyn and New York City.
DEAR GRADUATES DEAR GRADUATES
I can say with certainty that you are a class like no other, and that’s not just because you’re graduating during a time like no other in recent memory. In the face of challenges that you never expected when you embarked on your academic journey, this year has required you to exhibit fortitude and grace. You have done so in a way that makes me proud to be your dean.
I have been thinking a lot about how absolutely fitting it is for you to be the Class of 2020. Those numerals –2020 – always bring to mind the phrase “2020 vision” – the sense that our vision is
Jelena Kovačević Dean
perfect. But perfection isn’t often achievable, nor is it the ultimate endgame. I would prefer to think about 2020 Vision as clarity of purpose and sense of direction. You are the class of 2020, and it is your clear vision of your future that stands out to me, your professors, and everyone who comes in contact with you. It is with great anticipation that I look forward to hearing about the mark you will make on the world, regardless of the obstacles placed in front of you. Your 2020 Vision will allow you to see beyond any bump in the road, large or small.
Some of you foresee making the world greener by discovering new ways to reduce carbon emissions, and some of you envision making the world healthier by developing innovative medical devices. Others want the world to be more connected and equitable and see working with wireless technologies as a way to accomplish that, while others aim to make it safer by working in cybersecurity. You all have one thing in common though; your vision is to use your knowledge and skills to make the world better in some way.
You haven’t been waiting to graduate to get started either. Along with your great vision, you’ve shown great focus, no matter what adversity came your way. You spent your time here doing incredible things: building cars from the ground up, finding new methods of urban farming to fight food insecurity, revolutionizing chemical manufacturing processes, and other projects too numerous to list. Your honors are also too numerous to list but among you
are the best student entrepreneur in the world and several National Science Foundation graduate fellows, to mention just a few of the titles you hold.
You’ve been helped and inspired by professors who are just as intent on bettering the world as you are, and the list of their accomplishments this year is similarly too long to detail here. I believe it’s especially notable, however, that several were awarded NSF Rapid Response Research grants, earmarked for projects with severe urgency in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Tandon faculty and students alike have pulled together as a community in these trying times, and I believe that strong sense of community is one of the things that makes us so exceptional.
We are strengthened, as well, by our diversity and our commitment to being a place where differences are valued and celebrated. Perhaps our greatest source of strength, however, stems from an overall quality called Tandon Made. It means that through the strength that comes from our diversity, we are determined, street smart, and constantly driven towards innovation — all the while making sure to add a healthy measure of heart.
No matter where your next stop may be, I hope you’ll always remember how we helped you hone those qualities here. And as you go out and turn your visions into reality, I hope you’ll always be proud to be Tandon Made, just as Tandon is proud of you!

DEAR GRADUATES DEAR GRADUATES
On behalf of the NYU Tandon School of Engineering alumni family, I congratulate you on this day that you worked so hard to reach and for joining the more than 60,000 Tandon engineers, scientists, and educators who are changing the world for the better.
I know that you did not have the senior year you dreamed of, and you are definitely not having the commencement ceremony anyone envisioned. You’ve displayed an enormous amount of courage and responsibility, however, and while you will not have stories to tell about Yankee Stadium or Barclays Center, you
Anthony Concolino President, PAA
will certainly have a momentous, hopefully once-in-a-lifetime, one to tell your children and grandchildren.
As you set out on your journey to gratifying careers and noteworthy accomplishments during what I realize are trying and uncertain times, take heart in knowing that in the aftermath of every crisis, we have always emerged stronger and better, and COVID19 will be no different.
I know that your Tandon experience has impressed upon you the importance of placing your knowledge in service to society. Consider that you are joining the ranks of alumni like Jasper Kane and John McKeen whose radical ideas and ingenuity during the height of World War II led to the mass production of penicillin, saving the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and tens of millions of lives later on.
The world you are stepping out into needs engineers and scientists with Brooklyn grit , and I hope that you will remember your Alma Mater and its role in the great contributions I know you will make. Keep abreast of school news by reading our newsletters and web site, and participate in our thriving Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn communities.
The Alumni Association needs you, and there are ways to participate wherever you call home. Be a contributor to the One Day campaign or to your favorite scholarship fund, attend alumni events, be a mentor or guest speaker via the new NYU Violet Network, and volunteer
however you can. Any way you choose to give back will help you stay connected to us and will enhance opportunities for current and future students who wish to one day follow in your footsteps. I am proud to count you among NYU Tandon School of Engineering alumni and wish you all the best as you move forward to make your own contribution to a world that needs you now more than ever. Be well and be safe!

Joan (Ulrich) Von Ahn broke barriers as one of the first women with a degree in meteorology to present the weather on television. She began her on-air career in 1984 on AM Weather, a program produced in cooperation with Maryland Public TV. A National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) meteorologist, she both prepared and presented current weather reports, satellite and radar information, and forecasts of fronts and precipitation for the entire U.S., as well as forecasts of terminal weather, icing, and turbulence, which were of special interest to the aviation community. She subsequently also appeared on the Washington-based NBC affiliate, WRC-TV.
Later in her career Von Ahn joined the National Weather Service Ocean Prediction Center (OPC), where her important work included quantifying the impact of using ocean surface wind vectors derived from NASA’s QUIKSCAT (an observation satellite).
From 2007 until 2018, when she retired, Von Ahn served as a National Weather Service program manager.
In addition to her bachelor’s degree in Meteorology and Oceanography, which she earned at NYU’s School of Engineering in 1976, she holds a master’s degree in those same fields from the City College of New York.

Class of 2020! It’s a great name for members of a cohort with distinct visions for the future — and the knowledge and skills to make it happen. These graduates are ready to go out and better the world, each in their own dynamic way, fueled by their Tandon experience. They’re the true definition of what it means to be Tandon Made, and we’re thrilled to have been a part of their journey!
MAXWELL ROSEN MAXWELL ROSEN
B.S. in Applied Physics
2020 Valedictorian
My vision: A future in which controlled thermonuclear fusion provides a clean, safe, and sustainable source of energy. How Tandon is helping me bring that vision to life: People might ask why I studied physics at an engineering school, but Tandon was a good choice because the mindset here is very project-focused and there are opportunities to engage in serious research as early as freshman year. My childhood hero was Thomas Edison, so it’s interesting to be in the MakerSpace and see quotes from him prominently displayed on the wall.
In working to recreate how the sun makes energy (the process known as fusion) in a controlled way here on Earth, I’m getting the chance to make a real-world impact. My research could one day lead to an almost unlimited source of power, with no need for fossil fuels and no greenhouse gases to worry about. Tandon stresses using technology to help solve pressing problems, and that’s what I’m on the path to doing.
14 // CLASS OF 2020 VIRTUAL CELEBRATION MAY 20, 2020 NYU TANDON SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
My vision: Helping people invest for their future safely and wisely.
How Tandon is helping me bring that vision to life: After earning my bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering with a minor in economics, I dreamed of coming to New York City to study. Who wouldn’t want to study financial engineering in one of the world’s most important financial capitals? In that sense, Tandon is, literally, a dream come true. The Department of Finance and Risk Engineering has a very helpful and dedicated career counselor, so now I even have my dream job, as a market risk analyst, already lined up.
FLORENCE TONG FLORENCE TONG
My Vision: A world of circular economies and processes, where sustainability is a priority and the barriers to systemic change have fallen.
How Tandon is helping me bring that vision to life: The Class of 2020 grew up at a time when technology was transforming almost every aspect of life, from how we consumed media to how we received healthcare. There was a digital component to everything we touched, and I always realized that having a solid education in a technical field was going to be the best way to make a difference in the world.
Tandon has provided me with that education, as well as ample opportunity to hone my leadership skills. Being the president of the Undergraduate Student Council and interacting
I wanted to give something back to Tandon, in return for all I’ve gotten from the school, so I ran for the presidency of the Graduate Student Council, and in that capacity, I planned events that enhanced the student experience and helped them get through their very challenging courses of study. I’m proud that I’m the first female president of the Graduate Student Council in the school’s history, and that feels even more special considering that my tenure coincided with Tandon getting its first female dean.
with a wide-ranging portion of the school community—my peers, alumni, Dean Jelena— showed me how to effect change by bringing together stakeholders at every level of an organization. I plan to use everything I’ve learned during my time at Tandon to pursue sustainability issues. Before in-person classes and labs were suspended, I was working on my senior design project, which used machine learning to make recycling more efficient and profitable, so that’s an example of the kinds of initiatives I’d like to undertake. Ultimately, I want to make a difference as an innovator, either in the realm of entrepreneurship or by leading change in business with a more holistic approach. Whatever I end up creating or building, I’ll always be proud to call it Tandon Made.

My vision: Better, more accessible, personalized healthcare.
How Tandon is helping me bring that vision to life: Inspired by my background as a low-income student, I knew that I wanted to devote myself to improving the lives of those in my community, leveraging my talent in math and science to do so.
I arrived at Tandon just before the Vertically Integrated Projects program, which brings together multidisciplinary teams to work on meaningful projects and research, began. After its launch, I joined the 3D-Printed Biomedical Devices team,
ARYSTAN TATISHEV ARYSTAN TATISHEV
My Vision: My ultimate goal is to be able to help people with the knowledge I’ve acquired. I am an international student, so I will always advocate for the wellbeing of my homeland, Kazakhstan. Becoming a practicing engineer will allow me to know the technical aspects of how to improve my country, before I dive into the economic side of it.
How Tandon is helping me bring that vision to life: Tandon helped me meet some of the best people in my life. During my first year, when I was assigned three roommates, little did I know that I would spend the next four years with the same group. The friends I’ve met at Tandon share my same values and ideals, and that is something that is still inspiring me to keep pursuing my vision.
and our project, the MakerBrace, is devoted to supplying custom, lowcost 3D-printed orthotics to young cerebral palsy patients, who tend to outgrow their costly devices so quickly that insurance doesn’t cover them. This year, I’ve been in charge of the research and development team, and it’s been inspiring to see the positive impact we can make on people’s lives. My goal is to do even more to revolutionize healthcare for these marginalized patients, so I’m heading to graduate school to continue developing biomedical devices, and I’m considering medical school in the future.

My Vision: A world in which all patients get the privacy they are entitled to by law and where paper medical records do not contribute to problems of sustainability. (Paperless medical records, prescriptions, and blood work would also make things easier for patients, who must now often contend with gathering and bringing in all their papers anytime they see a new doctor.)
TARAH NICOLE NGOC DRIVER
TARAH NICOLE NGOC DRIVER
B.S. in Civil Engineering
My vision: I plan to help build New York City in a more sustainable and technologydriven way. Currently, the construction industry has a lot of room for improvement; it needs to step into the 21st century in more ways than one, from incorporating 4-D modeling as standard practice, to creating a more welcoming workplace for women on jobsites. I want to be a driving force behind these efforts to make sure that everyone has a place to succeed in the construction world.
How Tandon is helping me bring that vision to life: My professors dedicated so much of their time and energy to making sure that I succeeded in learning inside and outside of the classroom. Because of their support and guidance, I studied abroad in Abu Dhabi, was the captain of the NYU Steel Bridge team, medaled in construction management competitions, and received scholarship awards when I needed them most. They helped me form and hone my personal mission before I even knew it existed. My family lives 4,800 miles away, but it never felt like that because I had a great cheering section right here in Brooklyn!
How Tandon is helping me bring that vision to life: Being a Science and Technology major allowed me to minor in both computer science and psychology, so I developed a well-rounded way of looking at things from both a tech perspective and a human perspective. That set me on the path to getting involved in data analysis, and I’m hoping to use those skills in the realm of healthcare data.

KARAN GANTA KARAN GANTA
B.S. in Computer Science
My vision: A more connected, empathetic world in which the digital divide is bridged and technology is accessible to all.
How Tandon is helping me bring that vision to life: It goes without saying that I got a solid education at Tandon, but the school has provided me with so much more than an academic experience. It may have been my time in classrooms and labs that made me into a computer scientist, but it was my time in other Tandon settings -- the MakerSpace, the Office of Student Activities and Resource Center, and student government, for example – that made me into a well-rounded human being who sees the importance of investing in other people and using tech to improve their lives.
DE’ANE KENNEDY DE’ANE KENNEDY
My vision: Showing that you can make an impact in Silicon Valley by being a well-rounded person and engineer.
How Tandon is helping me bring that vision to life: Thanks to internships I completed with Dell during my time at Tandon, that’s where I’m headed after graduation. Having a job lined up has allowed me to relax a little and take interesting courses that aren’t part of the engineering curriculum, just for enrichment. That’s an advantage of being part of
a university like NYU: I took a class in fashion history, for example, and one in playing the steel pan drum.
Being at Tandon also presented a lot of opportunities to hone my leadership skills and collaborative abilities, since I was deeply involved in the student chapter of the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) and other groups. I think I’m proof that you can combine all your varied interests and end up with a great education and career prospects.

B.S. in Mechanical Engineering
My Vision: I realize that graduating during a time of global pandemic means staying flexible and open to all possibilities. Wherever I end up, the skills and knowledge I developed at Tandon will allow me to make valuable contributions, and that’s what’s most important to me.
How Tandon is helping me bring that vision to life: Attending NYU Tandon obviously provided me with a solid
mechanical engineering background, and minoring in biomechanics and biosystems engineering confirmed to me the good that engineers can do in the world. Beyond the classroom, the experiences I had here – from serving as a program coordinator at the Center for K-12 STEM Education to working in Career Services -helped me develop leadership and management skills that will serve me well throughout my life.

B.S. in Science and Technology Studies
My Vision: As a Science and Technology Studies major who hopes to earn a master’s in Bioethics as well as a law degree, I’d like to make positive societal and judicial impacts on the field of biotechnology.
How Tandon is helping me bring that vision to life: Attending NYU Tandon allowed me to broaden my world view and immersion in other cultures. I had lived in Shanghai for eight years during my childhood and got to explore areas throughout Asia. Being in New York City, another world capital, was mind-expanding, and, as a bonus, I also got to study abroad in London.

AMANDA DITROLIO AMANDA DITROLIO
B.S. in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering
My vision for the future: My vision first started coming into focus the day I received my cardboard cell- phone VR vision set in the mail from the admissions department, shortly after I had been accepted to the school. I remember taking it out of the box, downloading the application, placing my phone in the VR case and seeing a view that made me feel like I was roaming Mars. I thought it was the coolest little gift to receive. I knew from that moment the vision I would create for myself, in real life, over the course of the next four years would be even more special. I envision myself integrating emerging technologies into our healthcare system to improve medical care for all people — whether it be helping to develop a microfluidics device that can be used for rapid diagnostic testing or being a project manager for the next telemedicine startup that can deliver physician care remotely to patients in rural communities.
How Tandon is helping me bring that vision to life: I was fortunate enough to have a couple of opportunities to study abroad during my time at Tandon. The first was during an alternative spring break trip where I traveled to St. Elizabeth, Jamaica, to volunteer at a local high school to teach the students about vertical farming and sustainable technology. The second time I ventured out of Brooklyn was in the fall 2018 semester when I went to Sydney, Australia. Through both of these experiences, I expanded my scope of not
only problem solving, but also of problem finding. In Brooklyn, I spend most of my time learning how to solve problems presented to me by professors, and therefore, focus most of my time on that perspective. However, my time abroad encouraged my practice of problem finding as I lived among different cultures and communicated with different people to understand their ways of life and the problems they experience from day to day. Oftentimes in engineering, there is more than one way to solve a problem; but I’ve learned through considering various lenses of diverse perspectives, you can arrive at a more sustainable and inclusive solution for many people.
Another lesson I discovered during my time at Tandon was the concept of entrepreneurship and the process of translating an idea or invention into a full company. Starting in freshman year in my Engineering 1001 course when I was introduced to iteration and design, to this past year and a half, helping to lead the Women in Business and Entrepreneurship Club at Tandon as the secretary, my relationship with entrepreneurship and cultivating businesses out of ideas has grown quite remarkably. The longer I have been involved with bringing together my passion for emerging technologies and interest in developing business models, the more I believe that every engineer has the capacity to be an entrepreneur and share his or her idea at a larger scale with the world.

How Tandon is helping me bring that vision to life: I am graduating with a major in Business and Technology Management and concentration in Strategy and Innovation in Finance. This, in addition to working in nonprofits and corporate philanthropy throughout college, has allowed me to understand both corporate and non-profit worlds. From exploring the philosophy of giving in Ethics and Technology to learning about the customer discovery process
NIKKI ONG NIKKI ONG
B.S. in Civil Engineering
My vision: To work as an environmental engineer and design interventions that will protect ecosystems and public health. How Tandon is helping me bring that vision to life: The summer after sophomore year, I joined Professor Andrea Silverman’s laboratory through NYU’s Undergraduate Summer Research program, and continued working in her lab through my senior year. I was introduced to scientific writing, laboratory techniques, and microbiological laboratory methods — and never in
my life had I been so fascinated with sewage. I went from learning how to make buffer solution to running my own targeted experiments, where I looked into the inactivation kinetics of chemical oxidants in wastewater.
I’m now headed to graduate school. My time at NYU Tandon has been filled with so much growth and opportunity, and I am excited to take a leap into the next phase of my academic journey.
and emerging technologies in Innovation Management and Data Communications, I am academically and experientially equipped to create sustainable and community-centered solutions.
One of the ideas I’m interested in pursuing is this – We experience people asking for money on the subway, non-profit organizations asking for funding at annual galas, and freelance artists are linking their Venmo in their Vimeo descriptions. It seems as though those missions should be more closely aligned through a platform that connects, centralizes, and incentivizes the donor and recipient on an individual level.

My vision: To work in commercial aviation, because there’s so much potential in aviation technology, but the industry currently contributes a substantial amount to global carbon emissions. I want to help shift to more efficient engines that can also process biofuels and take a step closer to carbon neutrality. I’d also like to apply these principles to supersonic aircraft; it would be amazing if we could bring back commercial supersonic flight without increasing carbon emissions.
How Tandon is helping me bring that vision to life: Not only did I have the opportunity to complete a minor in Aerospace Engineering alongside working toward my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, but I also had the chance to complete a thesis and participate in research as part

B.S. in Biomolecular Science
My Vision: To improve the quality of people’s lives by applying my knowledge in microbiology to quality control and testing in industries like food and cosmetics.
How Tandon is helping me bring that vision to life: I’ll give a particularly interesting example. One unique class that Tandon offers is Cosmetic Chemistry, a graduate class taught by Peter Tsolis, an Executive Director at the cosmetics and skincare giant Estée Lauder. In one lecture, Estée Lauder’s Vice President of Microbiology came to speak about cosmetic preservation and quality control. This subject fascinated me since I realized how important microbiology is in the field and how much attention to detail is needed to ensure a product’s stability and safety — something consumers often take for granted.
of the Honors program at Tandon. The topic for my thesis revolves around shock wave-boundary layer interactions in supersonic flow, and it aligns well with my vision for the future. I have wonderful professors and advisors who helped me, and I wouldn’t have accomplished any of this without Tandon.

B.S. in Computer Science
My vision: A world in which technology is used to express all forms of creativity and there are equal opportunities for anyone who is passionate about pursuing a future in tech (and anything they want to do)!
How Tandon is helping me bring that vision to life: When I first came to Tandon I had no idea how much I would grow and learn in addition to earning my degree in Computer Science. Tandon helped me transform my interest in computer science into a passion and pushed me to break out of my shell. I started off as a timid freshman and ended up becoming the Head Teaching Assistant for a core computer science course that almost every single student at Tandon takes! I was able to leave an impact on all of the students I taught for the past 3 years and the fellow TAs I worked with. It meant so much to me that Tandon and my wonderful professors gave me the chance to become a leader, and it gave me confidence that I really could conquer my degree and take the world by storm. Becoming the Head Teaching Assistant in my senior year was a dream come true! Additionally, I was able to become an instructor for Tandon’s CS4CS program as a freshman and
sophomore thanks to Professor Phyllis Frankl. In this program, I had the chance to teach high school girls different topics in computer science as well as encourage and provide support to them as they follow their dreams in the tech field.
Completing an engineering degree is not easy, and although Tandon challenged me right from the start, those challenges helped me become the best me. I was able to take my newfound skills and produce a fashion website for my senior design project that recommends outfits based on weather, style, occasions, and much more. This had always been a goal of mine and Tandon gave me the opportunity to combine my interests in Computer Science and Fashion. Without all of the support and lessons I received from Tandon, my professors, and my amazing friends I met here, I would not be where I am now. I can proudly say I will be pursuing a full-time software engineering role at JPMorgan Chase in New York City after my time at Tandon. These past four years I was able to grow into who I was always meant to be, and I can’t thank Tandon enough. Tandon taught me that I could make my vision a reality and it definitely became a reality!

My vision: Providing hands-on healthcare to disadvantaged communities around the globe. How Tandon is helping me bring that vision to life: NYU Tandon has given me a dual advantage in pursuing my goals. The first is my very practical grounding in biomedical sciences, which has given me realworld perspective on the medical challenges facing society and how to tackle them. The other is the change in me, personally, that has occurred
JP DELAVIN JP DELAVIN
in Financial Engineering
My vision: To bring much-needed development to the financial system in my native Philippines.
How Tandon is helping me bring that vision to life: After earning my undergraduate degree in Management Engineering from Ateneo de Manila University and training in the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) program, I worked in private equity, corporate finance, and investment banking. I came to realize that the Philippines cannot yet compete with the financial hubs in the region, like Singapore, Hong Kong, and Sydney. Especially with geographic barriers becoming less and less relevant in the age of globalization and financial technology, it’s now essential for the country to have financial engineers and academics with a deep
understanding of the ever-changing and increasingly complex demands of the world of finance.
I intend to work with Asian financial institutions to ensure that I am up to date with the latest developments in the financial markets, and I’ll also be taking the knowledge I’ve gained at NYU Tandon, particularly in the areas of risk management and derivatives, back to Ateneo de Manila University, where I’ll teach in the applied math in mathematical finance (AMF) program. That’s the only bachelor’s degree in quantitative finance and one of only three master’s programs of its kind in the country, and I hope that my future students go on to help secure the Philippines’ place on the world stage.
as a result of my time here. Thanks to participating in initiatives like the Poly Project, which is focused on community service, and new-student orientation, for which I served as school-wide captain, I grew a great deal as a person. I gained confidence, learned leadership skills and the importance of stepping up to responsibility, and strengthened my desire to make a difference in the world.

My vision: To help New York City become cleaner and more sustainable as an HVAC engineer. How Tandon is helping me bring that vision to life: Buildings account for three-quarters of the total emissions in New York City, and with the recent passage of groundbreaking new local laws, a door has opened for more sustainable buildings. My Tandon mechanical engineering education has prepared me to be at the forefront of that fight for a more sustainable city, and I hope that the rest of the country is inspired to follow.
strive to empower those historically underrepresented in STEM fields. I also had opportunities to get actively involved in STEM outreach, serving as NYU’s LinkedIn Campus Editor and Women in Data Science Ambassador. All these experiences eventually led me to the Forbes Under 30 Student Scholar Award, as well as the Nutanix Women in Technology scholarship, which gave me a chance to spend time in the company of people who possess a whole other level of higher order thinking.

B.S. in Business and Technology Management
My Vision: To inspire innovation in the evolving fintech landscape and make the world a better place.
How Tandon is helping me bring that vision to life: Four years ago, my acceptance at Tandon opened the door to a multitude of academic, professional, and personal opportunities. As a BTM major, I learned at the crossroads of the growing financial system and global advancements in technology.
I applied the skills I honed at Tandon in a variety of industries, including government, media, and finance. These internships helped me observe various realms of the fintech sector and expand my horizons. I was also given the opportunity to study abroad at NYU Shanghai to learn more about the nuances of finance and technology internationally. Financial concepts are being fully reimagined through technology and engineering!
Not only was I taught how to strengthen my ideas based on current events, but I was encouraged by my professors to go out into the real world and build a network beyond the classroom. I participated in Tandon’s Engaging Engineers
program, through which I attended various Diversity in FinTech showcases that taught me more about the trends from the perspective of companies like Google and Morgan Stanley. These experiences came together at the Grace Hopper Conference, the world’s largest tech conference for women. I was inspired by the 30,000 women attending, who held the same passion for using technology to make the world a better place. I strived to not only make connections but listen to the ideas of my peers and colleagues. My role within Tandon’s Undergraduate Student Council was the perfect opportunity for me to stand with a powerful student body, paving the way for our generation.
I am grateful for the things I’ve learned at Tandon, but I am even more grateful to be a part of the Tandon community. The more people I met, the more events I attended, the more opportunities Tandon gave me, the more my perspective broadened! We are living in a time of impact, in a time of change, in a time of innovation. Now, as we graduate, it’s time to come together, give back, and make a difference.

ABOUT OUR SCHOOL
THE NYU TANDON SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
The NYU Tandon School of Engineering dates to 1854, when the NYU School of Civil Engineering and Architecture as well as the Brooklyn Collegiate and Polytechnic Institute (widely known as Brooklyn Poly) were founded. Their successor institutions merged in January 2014 to create a comprehensive school of education and research in engineering and applied sciences, rooted in a tradition of invention, innovation and entrepreneurship. In addition to programs at its main campus in downtown Brooklyn, it is closely connected to engineering programs at NYU Abu Dhabi and NYU Shanghai.
THE SCHOOL BANNER
The Processional Banner features the New York University torch, along with both the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges, symbolizing the connection of two strong boroughs and highlighting the importance of engineering as a bridge between disciplines.
