Mahider Gessesse, '23

Through Caltech's "Break Through: Together We Change the World" campaign, Mahider was able to research an issue she's passionate about. "I wanted to bring a hard science approach to treating problems that up until recently have just been left to psychiatry and psychology. That's the main reason I picked computational and neural systems."

Toussaint Pegues, BS '22

Toussaint took what he learned at Caltech to the big screen this past February as a quarterfinalist on Jeopardy's National College Championship. "I went in with the knowledge I already had an did my best. I knew the answers to more questions than I got to answer, but the categories weren't quite my strong suit, certainly no engineering questions. But still, the whole thing was pretty cool."

Hear it from Techers

Techers are passionate about sharing their experiences, so much so that 15 of them currently write for the Caltech student blog. From classes to take, to where to eat, to a campus encounter with the 2022 NBA champs, our students tell the tales of life as Techers.

What really drew me to Caltech was the breadth of incredible courses and the research I wanted to become a part of. I remember going through this very admissions blog and reading a post about a bioengineering course, Design and Construction of Biodevices, which I will finally take this spring!
