As a high school student, Maria Alvarado says she never made time for clubs or extracurricular activities because she focused so much on academics. But when she joined Missouri S&T, she quickly realized she was around like-minded people who wanted to “solve problems and improve the world.”
“I think being a part of the student organizations has been one of the best parts of my experience here,” says Alvarado, who earned bachelor’s degrees in architectural and civil engineering this past May from S&T. “I think that I have learned new things and gained valuable experiences that have helped me to grow into a better person.”
Alvarado, a St. Joseph, Missouri native, was a part of the archery club for her first few semesters on campus, but says she really found a place when she joined the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers at S&T – where she currently serves as society secretary.
“I love the people that I have met and learned from here, as well as the constant state of thinking and learning new things,” says Alvarado. “You can be super smart and excel in all your classes, but you really need people to share your experiences with and to help support each other.”
