I was an electrical engineering student, on the track team, worked part-time, was an active member of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nsbe.org\/\">National Society of Black Engineers<\/a> (NSBE), and volunteered in the Rochester community at <a href=\"https:\/\/badenstreet.org\/\">Baden Street<\/a>, so finding the right balance for everything was challenging. My favorite classes were those that had a lab component to them because I was able to build something and see the theory being applied in a practical way.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How did your experience at the URochester influence your life?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ influenced my life by helping me develop the ability to think critically and solve challenging problems. That&#8217;s something I use in all aspects of my life. In my day-to-day work as an engineer, as well as in my evaluation of business opportunities.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What inspired you to get involved and volunteer? <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I was inspired to give back to the University and volunteer as a mentor to give current students access to a mentor working, or one who had worked, in the career area they were thinking of pursuing. I never had a career mentor during my time at Rochester, but I had a few mentors once I started working professionally and I learned so much. Early in my career I would sometimes think, \u201cI wish I would have known this\u201d, or \u201cI wish someone would have pointed me in this direction earlier\u201d. By volunteering, I\u2019m trying to fulfill that wish for others.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What\u2019s the most rewarding part of staying connected with your alma mater?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The most rewarding part is mentoring. Hearing all the great things a student is doing, from a philosophy perspective, for example, and thinking, wow, the next generation of graduates\/professionals are on another level. As a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/real-readers-give-rochester-students-edge-349902\/\">Real Readers mentor<\/a>, it&#8217;s also rewarding to see writing pieces towards the beginning of a class, provide some feedback and share some of my career experiences, and see how the student takes that information in and uses it to guide their final writing piece.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What are you looking forward to next?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I&#8217;m looking forward to scaling back. Passing the torch to the next person.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What advice do you have for others looking to get involved? <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Find an area or something that you\u2019re passionate about and partner up with the Alumni Relations team to lend your expertise to the University&#8217;s initiatives and\/or help develop new programs and events in those areas.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221; image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leading by example, meet driven mentor and alumni volunteer Mario Simpson \u201999 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":72,"featured_media":61642,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[52,792],"class_list":["post-61592","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-profiles","tag-volunteers","tag-washington-d-c"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
