Class of 2026
Will chose JMU Engineering because of the team and project-based work. "The JMU Engineering program focuses on working together to solve complex problems and complete challenging projects," says Will. "I love working with my hands, so the opportunity to work alongside others while being given a space to be creative and have fun was too good to pass up."
He became an EA because he wanted to share his passion for engineering with everybody. "Being an EA provides unique opportunities for me to do this through social events and technical skill workshops. We are all working together to become the best engineers possible, and to do that, we need to know and understand how to collaborate using our strengths and weaknesses."
Will enjoys woodworking and dabbling in new DIY projects in his free time. When the sun is out, he is usually running, with ultramarathons being his favorite.
How is JMU Engineering preparing you for your future?
"My advice to prospective students is to find a group of people that is just as dedicated to success as you are. Having a group of friends you can always count on to study with and collaborate with has been crucial to my success at JMU. Be social, get to know people, work hard and you'll be successful."
Advice for prospective students:
"Make yourself known in Engineering. Take as many chances as you get to meet someone new or talk to a professor. We're all here to support each other, and the professors are here to help us. Be social, get to know people, work hard, and you'll be successful."
