The #Purdue Engineering undergraduate experience is coming to an end for thousands of students May 14-15. For many, it was a transformative time: entering college as a young person with dreams, exiting an #engineer equipped to accomplish them.

In the last “Faces of Purdue Engineering,” graduating seniors Maeve Hegarty (CE), Veronica Miller (NE), Simon Stallings (ME), Evan Stonestreet (ECE) and Clifford Underwood (ABE) share their experiences.

“Purdue Engineering has expanded my perspective on what’s possible for my career and life,” Underwood said. “It’s connected me with opportunities, companies and networks that I wouldn’t have had access to otherwise. ... Overall, it’s been a foundation for both personal and professional growth.”

Opportunity was a common refrain, whether taking advantage of one of the nation’s largest student-run career fairs, surrounding themselves with fellow ambitious students to stay accountable or utilizing state-of-the-art labs in West Lafayette.

“We shouldn’t take them for granted. My most meaningful college experiences came from just showing up or saying ‘yes’ to things I wasn’t initially planning to pursue,” Stonestreet said.

That included attending callouts for student organizations, both professional and social. Those provided “support” and “balance” to the grind, Hegarty said.

And an avenue to meet like-minded people.

Sometimes in an academic setting — “good, productive teamwork will always lead to better results,” Stallings said — and some more personal.

Hegarty’s biggest takeaway has been the “connections you can make inside and outside of the classroom.”

Said Stonestreet: “I’ve been impacted most by the people I’ve met. I’ve formed countless relationships that will last long after graduation, and I have Purdue to thank for that. Campus is so diverse, and in just four short years I’ve been blessed to make friends from all backgrounds who constantly reshape my perspective on life.”

And, ultimately, change lives.



“I’m walking away with so much more confidence in myself than I entered with,” Miller said, “not only as an engineer but as a leader, a friend and a human.”
