Student Voices

“The most fulfilling part of Douglass for me has been the connections I’ve made with my fellow engineers. While being a part of Reilly DELLC, I have made friends for life who understand the trials and tribulations of engineering school. We are always there to celebrate each other’s achievements.”  - Eshana Bethur
