Guess who has tried all the cafes at UMass, while still actively involved in mentoring and academic success at UMass?
• Name: Hansen Tjo
• Class: 2021 (Rising Junior)
• Hometown: Jarkarta, Indonesia 🇮🇩
• Major: Chemical Engineering 🧪⚙
• Activities: Supplemental Instruction Leader, Engineering Peer Mentor, ChemEng TA, iCons, Perry Research Group
• Fun fact: "I’ve gone to all the cafes ☕ at UMass (Quad & ISB Cafes make the best lattes; shoutout to the Procrastination Station for staying open 24/7!)"
• Advice for international students: "Go put yourself out there. Avoid cliques, meet new people, learn new things. You’re not going to be a better software developer, accountant, or artist by being an international student at UMass than if you studied at home — but you could end up becoming a different person! In the end, I think that’s what matters." 🎯
