Throughout Olin, I have slowly defined what engineering means to me and what I want to do with it. The broad impact of engineering that I started with has narrowed down to a desire to provide clean and sustainable water for the world. All in all, by virtue of Olin’s curriculum, I’ve been almost inadvertently on track to embracing and embodying Grand Challenges Scholarship from day one. Fueled by passion and a desire to improve lives, my classmates and I have pushed each other to understand the context of the world we live in, so that we may affect it with the utmost efficacy.
