Welcome our new bloggers! by Jenny B. '25, MEng '26

Huzzah!

After much deliberation over the 66 applications we received this summer, we are happy to announce our new bloggers!

Please give a warm welcome to:

New blogger avatars for Hala K. '29, Taylor L. '29, Boheng C. '28, Victor D. '27, Caleb M. '27

  • Hala K. ‘29 from Michigan, who built not only robots but also endearing memories at MITES, and knows her best friends better than any online personality test out there.
  • Taylor L. ‘29 from North Carolina, who went on a quest to find a Pink Lemonade Celsius near her hometown, and has much to tell you about the virtues of serif fonts in this day and age.
  • Boheng C. ‘28 from California, who has biked all the way from campus to beaches and shipyards, and liveblogged from the depths of a freezing New England cave.
  • Victor D. ‘27 from California, who cherishes the identities built into the squares and streets of Boston, and finds unfamiliar paths in familiar places to meet new friendly faces. (Hey, that rhymed!)
  • Caleb M. ‘27 from Texas, whose first walk down the Infinite Corridor was during a snowy Boston haze, and loves bagels and sandwiches but HATES bagel sandwiches.

They got some banger posts coming soon, so stay tuned!

For those who didn’t get selected this time: thank you so much for taking the time and effort to apply. Writing for an audience takes a lot of vulnerability, courage, and mental energy. Also, as long as you’re an MIT undergrad then you can re-apply next summer! We hope that you continue sharing your story to the world, and we are excited to see what you will create.
