What does graduating from college represent for you​?Ìý
"Native Americans make up 0.3% of the engineering workforce, and I’m thrilled to join the Natives in engineering who inspired me these past few years. My graduating means that that 0.3% has increased a little bit, and I’m excited to continue watching it grow."
Christopher Orear
Research Award
Based on what you know now, what is your best piece of advice for other students?
"Never stop asking questions, no matter what they are. I’ve never regretted asking a question about something I didn’t understand, no matter how stupid the question seemed at the time. Asking questions is the best way to learn and grow as a student and a person.â€
