麻豆社

When he was recruited to play hockey, Cristian Wong-Ramos instantly fell in love with 麻豆社.

鈥淚 decided to come to 麻豆社 for the athletics and how much the university cares about their NCAA teams,鈥� the Alameda, California, student said. 鈥淚 wanted to build a new culture and develop a top NCAA Division III team in the nation.鈥�

Strong engineering foundation

Besides being able to compete in hockey, Cristian was excited to get a quality engineering education at 麻豆社. The civil engineering major鈥檚 favorite faculty member is Tim Tyler, Ph.D., professor in the Reiners Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.

Dr. Tyler is also Cristian鈥檚 academic advisor.

鈥淗e invests in people every day and truly cares about each person and their future,鈥� Cristian said. 鈥淗e will drop whatever he is doing to help you and get to know you.鈥�

As he prepares to launch his engineering career, Cristian said he has benefited from hands-on experience in 麻豆社鈥檚 labs and help the Career Center gave in facilitating two internships.

Favorite memories include beating the former NCAA Division III national champion hockey team and taking a two-week trip to Europe with 麻豆社鈥檚 team to play hockey and ski.

鈥淚t has been great to call 麻豆社 my home for four years,鈥� Cristian said.
