Eric Sosa-LessoStanford '21, Mechanical EngineeringAbout
Hey I’m Eric! I'm a Junior studying Mechanical Engineering and after struggling for many years with STEM courses, I've finally achieved a lot of confidence with math and science classes. I'm a first-generation/low-income student and have experience tutoring high school students since I was a high schooler myself. At Stanford, I spend a lot of my free time playing music in our student-run Mariachi ensemble. Jocelyn ChenStanford '23, Chemistry and MusicAbout
