“I believe giving back can be monumental to someone’s life just as it was for me...Seeing women succeed in a field that I only ever pictured men in was truly eye-opening for me.”

This episode of Strength in the Midst of Change features Christine Agpasa, an undergraduate student in the College of Engineering. Christine is a 2020 recipient of the Irma M.
