“Growing up I thought that leadership meant that you could stand up in front of a room and present your ideas clearly and loudly,” Simran explains. “Thanks to GEL, I realized that leadership was much more complex and nuanced than that—and this was a life-changing realization.”

BS, Aerospace, Aeronautical, and Astronautical/Space Engineering
"GEL was the highlight of my junior and senior years at MIT", recalls TojumiOluwa (Towa) Adegboyega. It's intellectually fascinating to consider how engineering intersects with the metrics of success in the real world—trying to meet deadlines and performance targets, trying to satisfy customers, all the things you have to tackle as a professional engineer."
