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 Sam and I’m from Long Island, New York. I'm a member of the Class of 2023 and majoring in Engineering with a concentration in Computing. I’m passionate about using engineering to help others, especially surrounding assistive and adaptive technology. At Olin, I’m involved in assistive technology research, our public interest tech project team (PInT), and fire arts. I also love Harry Potter (as shown through basically my entire dorm room). In my free time, I love watching shows with friends and making Perler Bead art. Feel free to ask me about anything here at Olin!

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!

Hi there! I'm Esme and I'm a member of the Class of 2024 from San Diego, CA. I'm super excited about working on assistive technologies, and I'm planning on majoring in Mechanical Engineering or Engineering with Robotics here at Olin (don't hesitate to ask me about either!!). On campus, I'm a systems engineer for Olin Rocketry, I'm involved with K-12 outreach, SERV (the community service branch of Student Government) and a (very new!) foosball automation club! In my free time, I love to rock climb, cook, embroider, and build needlessly complex spreadsheets! Feel free to reach out with questions about anything!

My name is Grant Goodall and I'm from Chicago, Illinois. I'm a part of the Class of 2024 at Olin, and am an undecided major. At Olin, I've worked on the electrical subteam of Design Build Fly (Our model plane building project team) and.SERV, which is one of the main ways that Olin organizes social service. I am an Eagle Scout and I like to crochet, read sci-fi and fantasy books and play Dungeons and Dragons weekly with other Oliners. I’m happy to answer your questions about Olin, especially about student life and how to balance life at Olin.

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!

Hi! My name is Arla, and I’m a member of the Class of 2024 from a teeny tiny island in northwest Washington (state). I’m not quite sure what I’ll be majoring in yet, but I promise you it’ll be some sort of engineering :) Outside of classes, I’m involved in Olin’s public interest tech project team (PInT), the fire arts club (OFAC), and the student activities committee (SAC). I had almost zippo-zero technical experience coming into Olin, so if you’re on the same page as me feel free to reach out! I’ve written a few blogs for the Olinsider (Olin’s admissions blog), and in my free time like to go for hikes, rollerskate, and spend as much time outside as I can. Ask me about anything (except circuits, because yikes)!

Hey y'all! My name is Berwin (she/her) and I'm a member of the Class of 2024 from Westwood, MA studying Engineering with Computing and hoping to do my AHS (arts, history, social sciences) concentration in political science, ethics, or philosophy. I'm also a huge fan of all things aerospace, and I'm project managing Olin Rocketry and I did research on building CubeSats my first year. I'm currently researching indoor orientation and mobility for the blind and visually impaired! I also work for the Advancement Office and I'm involved in Olin Fire Arts Club as well! I'd love to talk to you -- ask me anything!
