I want to solve the world’s most pressing issues. As a student under the Global Engineering Residential Application Program, I will be able to expand my experiences and learnings through the program’s technology innovation and foundation curriculum. I believe this program offers both a creative and practical approach in understanding not only the changes of technology, but also the hands on experience to apply those changes through collaboration to better the world and community as a whole.
I have personal first-hand experience with environmental issues that cloud our world today. I was recently able to visit my grandparents’ hometown in Southern Vietnam where one of the many local fishing ports are located, and I noticed a lot of environmental issues that needed to be addressed. Vietnam is developing in a world that is already polluted by so many other countries and their industrial influence. I would like to take my education and apply it further to the communities and countries that need attention to the growing pains of the world, such as the increasing atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide as a result of industrial influence.
As a second generation Vietnamese-Korean American, I have had the ability to experience what life is like for a suburban Coloradan student as well as what the world looks like in a third world country. Drawing from my experiences, there is truly a separation in environmental awareness between the developed and developing worlds, and the lack of action globally. For example, something as small as learning how and what to recycle in America, compared to my family in Vietnam and Korea throwing their trash into the ocean. I want to be more than aware and help educate others, but I also want to be a part of the global change to the matters that we need to address now. I believe the CU Boulder Global Engineering RAP program can help me push this boundary for a better world environmentally and socially.

I want to find lifelong friendships and make lifelong memories during my years in college. I am part of a Vietnamese Catholic youth group where I grew up with the same crowd of kids since we were all six years old. Alongside that, I am also very close to my extended family, so community, family, and friends are all qualities I’m also trying to find when I go to college in the fall.
Because the Global Engineering Program emphasizes the importance of community and collaboration, I am excited to meet others who I can learn from their unique and diverse perspectives and stories. I hope that the people that I can be surrounded by in this program will help me grow as a person, student, and engineer as well as be there as a friend and supporter. I equally want to offer that same support for my peers as well. However, I am also excited and anticipate competition while under this program because I want to challenge myself and grow my learning as a student of the engineering program at CU Boulder.

I want to be part of the RAP community because I want to be part of something bigger. I want to help others and incorporate my education and experiences into helping the world. In a world that is on fire with populations of families and individuals who have nothing to their name, I want to be able to reach out to those communities and bring hope and comfort through my work.
I believe that being part of a smaller community in CU Boulder’s engineering program will help me create friendships and find networking opportunities that will help me in the future. The RAP is a network of brilliant, creative, welcoming, diverse, and bold minds, and I aspire to collaborate and pioneer solving the world's problems alongside my peers.
Other than the fact that I am a woman in color in STEM, I am hoping to have fun while also focusing on my studies. When I am part of the RAP, I want it to feel like home not only for me, but for the other members. I believe that if I am part of this program, I can contribute to its community and family aspect, knowing that those qualities are very important to me.
