"QUEST provided me the opportunity to work on a variety of projects with people from many differing backgrounds and skill sets, which helped me become a better team member. Without a doubt, many of the things I've learned and people I've met through QUEST will continue to be very important to me in my future."

In addition to making lifelong friends, I have also participated in numerous professional experiences that have helped me build my resume. QUEST has provided me with life changing experiences, and I value being a lifelong member of the QUEST community."

"I made great friends, connections, and was inspired to pursue a path different than the typical Mechanical Engineering path from all that I learned and was exposed to through QUEST. It really set me up for a great career!"

"QUEST helped me define my passions and gave me an outlet to explore them as well as surrounded me with a bunch of passionate individuals who were supportive and amazing."
