Hi folks! I’m Vedaant, from Bangalore, India. I’m in the Class of 2024, and I have absolutely no idea about what I’ll be majoring in. At Olin, I’m involved in the MIX (that’s the Multicultural Innovators eXperience; ping me to ask more!) and I’m also going to be an ARC (an Academic Resource Co-designer; once again ask me!). My brain is consistently occupied with things like sustainability, math, and reflecting on my cultural identity. Apart from that, I love biking, playing the piano, bingeing YouTube, and much more. As Covid restrictions on campus ease, I look forward to dabbling in many, many more things at Olin! I’d love to answer questions about everything I spoke about above (and much more I can’t fit in here), so reach out to me about anything!

Hey! I’m Prisha, your friendly neighborhood SoCal native (Torrance in particular)! I’m in the Class of 2023 as an Electrical and Computer Engineering major, but I’m also a *huge* robotics nerd. I’m part of the Olin Robotics Lab, Student Government Director of Service, course assistant for OFYI (Olin First Year Introduction), and a newly appointed ARC (Academic Resource Co-Designer - basically I get trained to work with people on organization/time management/self-regulation stuff). Outside of all that, though, I love to bake, spend way too much time on Spotify, binge-watch shows (B99, How I Met Your Mother, The Office, Parks and Rec, other shows I can’t remember), eat, and go on spontaneous adventures with my friends. Feel free to reach out about anything at all, I’d love to chat!

Hey everyone! My name is Cara Mulrooney and I’m from Brooklyn, New York. I am a member of the Class of 2024 and plan on majoring in Electrical and Computer Engineering. At Olin, I am an electrical subteam lead for the SAE Formula Electric Motorsports Team and part of the Society of Women Engineers leadership team. My NYC high school did not have many STEM-related activities and clubs, so I spent most of my high school career creating engineering opportunities and resources for myself. During that time, I founded an award-winning robotics team, taught middle school students about STEM through fun activities, and conducted robotics research. In my spare time, I love to cook, knit, attend/participate in theater, stay active, and spend time with friends. Please reach out if you have any questions about academic or student life!

Hello! I'm Laurel, class of 2023, from the San Francisco Bay Area. I'm going to major in Mechanical Engineering. I love making interesting pieces of metal, being outside, dancing, taking photos, making cloth-based or cloth-adjacent items, hanging out with animals (especially my horses, dogs, and goats), and much more. Here at Olin, I'm part of the electric race car team (Olin Electric Motorsports, aka Formula), the Ultimate team, and the fire arts club (OFAC). In my kind of nonexistent free time, I also bake, sew, play Minecraft, and have a mini garden in my room (it's made of like three plants but I love them anyway). I'd love to answer any questions you have about Olin, anything I mentioned above, or whatever else you want!

Hey, y’all I’m Moisés! I’m from LA (valley kid for life) and am part of the class of 2024. I am majoring in Mechanical Engineering with a concentration in Entrepreneurship. Some of you may know me from some YouTube videos that I’ve made on Olin #NewEnglandEducation (go subscribe, jk I need to post more). I help run Olin’s admission based social media, and help teach first years “How to Olin”. I am a first generation college student and I can speak to so many topics such as moving across the country, going from a super large high school to Olin, pursuing entrepreneurship, and working in automotive! I am super passionate about the future of transportation but also what the future of engineering education may look like! Oh and I am president of the MIX (Multicultural Innovators eXperience) and (h)OLA (Olin Latinx Association).

Hi! I'm Pauline Petersen from Portland, Oregon. I'm in the class of 2026 and am majoring in Engineering with a concentration in Robotics.I love to unicycle. Since being here, I have unicycled into Needham, Newton, and around Boston. At Olin I host unicycle workshops every other week where I teach students how to ride. I am also an FAA Certified Drone Pilot. Through joining the RoboLab at Olin I am able to further explore drones through the development and research of new avionic technology. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
