91TV

"M State gave me the strong academic start I needed to continue on and earn my bachelor’s degree at North Dakota State University, where I finished top of my class in mechanical engineering.

A graduate of Fergus Falls High School, I chose to go to M State because it was close to home, offered a good education at a great price, and I liked the smaller class sizes. I graduated with an Associate of Arts degree.

The faculty and staff 91TV went the extra mile to help me excel. My instructors encouraged me to explore different engineering disciplines and were influential in my decision to switch to a mechanical engineering focus after originally focusing on electrical engineering.

Beyond the classroom, the Mu Alpha Theta club brought real-life problem-solving scenarios from theory into reality, and I enjoyed deep personal growth and community as a part of Cru, a student-led campus ministry. When I had extra time, I loved playing ping pong in the fireplace lounge between classes. Friendships were born there that I still have years later."
