Your 1-year anniversary of your GREEN adventure just happened! Can you believe it?!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nNo! It\u2019s crazy that it\u2019s been a year. With this years spring break happening, it\u2019s official. I\u2019ve just been to Costa Rica with friends over break, and I couldn\u2019t help to think about my Iceland trip in comparison. I definitely miss GREEN! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are you still in touch with the students from your program?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nYes, actually. Even after a year I still speak with quite a few of them. We have a Facebook page that\u2019s active with jokes from our trip, news about each other, and people meeting up in different cities. It\u2019s cool to know that a single week of being together has led to lasting friends!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Post-summer, what have you been up to? How is your final year at UPenn going?<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nYeah, school is going great! Looking at my transcript and seeing how many courses I\u2019ve taken over the last three years actually gives me a larger sense of accomplishment than I imagined. This year has been filled with challenges, but has also given me the time to really look back and see how much I\u2019ve grown! I\u2019m excited to start my next chapter, but I\u2019m very grateful to have had this time here at Penn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, you\u2019re graduating AND you\u2019ve received an offer for a position with Boeing. What\u2019s the deal?<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nYes, I\u2019ll be graduating mid-May! And then moving to Los Angeles to work for Boeing\u2019s Satellite division! Coming from Mississippi, currently living on the East Coast, and now moving to the West Coast I will finally see which is truly the best! Basically, my program is for recently graduated engineers, and it allows me to work in about five departments within three years to find the best fit for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Between now and then, what\u2019s on your agenda? If you\u2019re leaving the city, are there any last adventures and things in Philly you need to check off the to-do list?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThere are always more things to do in Philly! Right now, I am hitting the food truck scene really hard. Venturing into Drexel territory to find new spots and trying to take advantage of the amazing food Philly has everywhere. I\u2019m also taking about two months off this summer, and to be honest, my plans change daily for what I\u2019ll be doing. My friend and I have made plans ranging from a West Coast road trip to flying to Indonesia or even living in Iceland for a while. I have no idea what I will decide to do, so I\u2019ll send news back at the end of the summer!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Shelby, a soon-to-be graduating Senior Engineering student at the University of Pennsylvania and\u00a0GREEN Ambassador, traveled with us to Iceland last Spring. Since then, she has landed some pretty amazing internship and job opportunities: a 2014 summer internship with SpaceX and a job offer from Boeing upon graduation.
