Cougar Nation, let's celebrate Caleb Rees. Caleb wrote and provided the following regarding his plans:
After the completion of high school, I am excited to share that I have been accepted to Wabash College to pursue a major in Physics. I have strong interest in physics and mathematics.
In addition to my major in Physics at Wabash College, I plan to pursue a dual degree with Columbia University focusing on Aeronautical Engineering. This program will allow me to earn two degrees in two different in two different fields of study. I am thrilled at the opportunity to gain specialized knowledge in both physics and engineering.
My decision to pursue this particular path was influenced by my fascination with space exploration and aeronautics. I believe that both fields hold the key to unlocking the mysteries of the universe and pushing the boundaries of human achievement. By earning a degree in Physics and Aeronautical Engineering, I hope to contribute to the development of new technologies and advancements in the field.
My long-term goal is to work for a leading space exploration company, such as NASA or SpaceX. I plan to apply gained knowledge to contribute to the progress of humanity's exploration of space.
In conclusion, I am honored to have been accepted to Wabash College. I am excited to pursue a dual degree with Columbia University. I am also looking forward to the challenges and opportunities. Even more so, I am beyond thrilled to see where this path takes me in the future.
