“I knew coming out of high school I liked engineering, but I didn’t exactly know what industry I wanted to work in. This work gave me a glimpse of the future. It helped affirm for me that I want to apply engineering to something that benefits the world. Using engineering to better the environment seems like a noble way to spend your life.”
Trevor Goldston, Mechatronics Engineering, Class of 2025
“Asheville is a small town where you can go downtown for an evening or go hiking for an afternoon. It’s a great place nestled in the mountains with a lot of energy between the town and the university environment.”
Robert Brenneman, Mechatronics Engineering, Class of 2023
“I’m just so thankful that I have like the support of this faculty at UNCA, because I think that if I would have gone to a different school—I know it’s kind of unfair to say this—but I genuinely feel that it wouldn’t have been the same amount of support, or confidence that they felt in me. I was finally able to accept it and start turning it into towards myself.”
Alexa Perez-Sanchez, UNC Asheville/University of Essex Joint Degree, Class of 2022
“UNC Asheville played a significant role in helping me achieve where I wanted to be. It just did so much for me when I was here; not only just the friendships but also in terms of teaching me how to be a good person and interact with people, and how to learn and be open to learning different things. It’s always stayed with me.”
Jan Green, Mathematics, Class of 1972
“The painting skills translate a lot in what I do now in terms of color theory, perspective, and all of the technical things I learned [and now] apply to a more magical, fantasy style,”
Hannah Bunzey, Art, Class of [DATE]
