Cultural Atmosphere


Industry Interest

The consulting industry can help me realize my dream of making the world a better place with knowledge. Consulting helps companies solve problems and create value. A consultant is like a doctor. After "diagnosing,” we provide the company with general and detailed reform plans and help implement the plans.

Why Olin?

The cultural atmosphere of Olin attracted me. Here, gaining knowledge and getting scores are a process, not a result. The professors and staff are trying to impart an applicable lifelong learning theory so that even when we leave Olin, we still have a strong learning ability. Here, you can be anyone you want to be. No matter what your gender, personality and hobbies are, there is always a development platform suitable for you. Your growth is far more than just a degree.

Favorite Course

Deep Learning taught by Professor Salih Tutun was my favorite course and very practical. Deep learning has become a core skill for solving business problems with unstructured data. Whether it is in the business field or the financial field, the depth model has a wide range of applications. The professor’s explanations were simple and profound. Also, this course has a lot of teaching assistants, which means that whenever you have questions, you can get timely answers.

Career Goal

My career aspirations have always revolved around wanting to give back to society. My ultimate career goal is to set up a nonprofit organization to help commercialize traditional cultural organizations, help artisans obtain economic resources and, at the same time, protect cultural heritage. In addition to providing a solid knowledge base for me to realize my dreams, Olin’s faculty injected more strength into my beliefs.
