Daniel van der Spoel meets with Prof. Sachin Patil in an engineering lab.

This year really opened my eyes to other fields. I was really able to explore and bridge into different areas to see what I like and see what I don't like. I learned a lot about what I want to do in the future.

Coach Liberati was the only coach that answered me and gave me an opportunity to play for him. He played a major role in my choice because it showed me that the staff really cared about me.
