How has the PKFEA program benefited your personal, professional, or academic growth?
I strongly believe that this program has helped me grow and become a more prepared, attentive, and committed student. Between all of the seminars, emails, resources, and mentors, I feel significantly more supported and ready for a future career than the average engineering student. Along with helping me academically and professionally, it has significantly reduced the stress in my personal life by providing resources for my mental health and offering ample financial support.
