How did CEED help you throughout your college career?

The networking events hosted throughout the year were a great place to practice some of the softer skills. Learning how to engage with recruiters is super important!

Did CEED help you move on to your future career or grad school?

The programs and events CEED has developed really helped guide my career choices. The resume critique workshops helped me understand what types of candidates employers were looking for. While events like Corporate Round Table provided a space where I could ask questions about specific engineering roles or companies.

How do you think your college experience would have been different without CEED?

Nothing beats the community that CEED has built. I can’t imagine finding a substitute within the broader UCLA community that has a network of support as strong as CEED’s.

Are there any ways you plan to give back to CEED and CEED students in the future?

I don’t have anything in mind, but I’m open to participating in any events CEED has planned.
