Katie Piotrzkowski
Hi! I’m Katie, a rising sophomore in CBE. I lived in Rodin College House this past semester and am also living there this coming year. I’m from Stamford, CT and attended a public high school. On campus, I am involved with the Society of Women Engineers (SWE), AOE – a social and professional STEM sorority, Chem-e-car, and the club field hockey team. I am also a tutor with the Weingarten Center. This summer I am interning with the Stamford Recycling Department and volunteering at a vaccine clinic. I am also working a summer camp at a local nature center. I’m trying to learn more baking and cooking this summer. I also love trying new restaurants in Philly! I played a lot of sports growing up and in high school – field hockey, ice hockey, and lacrosse. I now enjoy running and club field hockey.

Hi! My name is Nick Anderson, I’m an incoming junior majoring in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Engineering Entrepreneurship. I’m a first generation college student with a passions that range from helping others to kicking a ball in a goal. On campus I’m the VP of the Penn Engineering Council, captain of the club soccer team, Secretary of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, a Penn First Plus Student Mentor, the Philanthropy Chair of Phi Gamma Delta (Fiji), a Penn Admitted Student Mentor, a MEAM TA, MEAM Ambassador, and my favorite of all – an OPA! When I can get away from coursework and extracurricular obligations, I find that I spend most of my time wandering the streets of Philly and traveling with friends. Some other random facts: my favorite soccer team is Manchester United, I’ve been to 40 countries, and I’m typing this with a swollen eye (just got stung on the eyelid by a bee).
