“I loved ENGR 194 because it offered valuable insight into the personal and professional journeys of the guest speakers including their achievements, setbacks and growth. It was encouraging to hear that many of them changed career paths, failed exams or switched jobs, yet still found success. Hearing their stories helped boost my confidence and reminded me that it's normal to face challenges. As you go through your freshman year, it’s comforting to know you’re not alone. Everyone experiences ups and downs, and there’s no one right path to success.”
