Hello! My name is Yannis Rigas and I am a freshman BioE at the University of Pittsburgh
Sitting. Sitting and staring at the white door that encapsulated the bathroom from the rest of the house.
As the door knob turned and a member of my family exited the bathroom, I just sat there. My four-year-old
brain overwhelmed with the question how? How does this contraption called door work? I would sit looking at
that door a countless number of times for uncountable amounts of time trapped by my own curiosity, and filled
with wonder. Needless to say, throughout my eighteen years this curiosity has always been inside of me, and with
the proper environment, my curiosity will be able to prosper into action. During my college application process I
wanted to find an institution that not only harbored my curiosity, but allowed me to act upon that curiosity. The
University of Pittsburghs Swanson School of Engineering is one of those places. Through the Universitys many emails,
I was able to get a better understanding of the opportunities to foster my curiosity. These opportunities included a
plethora of volunteer opportunities, a vast amount of student led clubs, a large research endowment that correlates to
co-op opportunities, and the fact that the University is in the direct vicinity of UPMC.
