“Being a Boilermaker is being someone that works really hard and just gets things done. We’re very results-driven here, and it shows up even in our new buildings, programs and opportunities,” says Gregory. “We are always ready to take the next step.”
Gregory gives back to fellow Boilermakers by uplifting them in their academics and ensuring everyone is safe in social settings. His advice for Boilermakers: Enjoy your time in college and stay true to yourself. “Don’t judge yourself by others’ opinions, but judge yourself based on how far you’re going and your opinion of yourself.”
We are always ready to take the next step.
