What was your favorite memory from your first year?
For me, the first year at SOM felt like a carnival—filled with exciting events and vibrant energy nearly every week.
Among many unforgettable experiences, the Tech Trek during winter break stands out. Organized by the Tech Club, we traveled to Silicon Valley and visited leading tech companies like Google, Netflix, and Nvidia. We also had the chance to connect with hundreds of alumni working in the industry.
The experience was truly inspiring—it not only deepened my passion for the tech sector but also helped me build lasting friendships with some of the most talented and kind classmates I’ve met.
