Application Essay
Thank you for the opportunity to explain why I would like to attend classes
at the Hector School of Engineering and Management. A review of my
background will show how I have developed that interest.
I was born and raised in Hanover, a small college town in New Hampshire.
Growing up next to Dartmouth College inspired me to take education and
the life of the mind seriously. I've owned and run my own DJ business
since high school and became active in the businesses of music and media
from an early age. This creative and entrepreneurial upbringing I feel
prepared me early in life for the topics we wish to cover while at the Hector
School.
I graduated from Union College in 2007 and was very active student
government while at Union. I seek leadership roles whenever possible and
was Vice President of my class as well as the Music Director for the college
radio station. While I was at Union, I met exchange students from Union's
relationship with the University of Karlsruhe. I was impressed with the
enthusiasm with which they described your institution and the dynamic
German companies that sourced their management talent from your
graduates.
