Grand Challenge Scholars Program

I joined because I wanted to see others working on the challenge that I am interested in and get new perspectives from everyone in the program. I joined because I want to be apart of a group of problem solvers. I joined because I love overcoming challenges. I love challenges. I learned one of my mentors, a graduate student at Georgia Tech named Aakash Bajpai, was a member of the University of Maryland, Baltimore Chapter. I knew I wanted to follow in his footsteps. I looked at all the Grand Challenges and was amazed that people in my college were interested in making an impact on a global scale. I know that the impact made by the cohorts in this program can create a ripple effect of motivated engineers not just on my campus, but globally. I want to be the cause of this ripple effect by spreading information about this program to students on campus. The more individuals who are willing to make a change, the more likely change will happen.
