Juliette Stephanie Pirpiris, McC ’14, Industrial Engineering Minor: International Studies

Juliette was part of a team in her Education, Design and Communication class that designed and produced a screwdriver for a client at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago. Their efforts won a Communications Award at the Segal Design Center’s 2011 Winter Quarter Design Fair and the gratitude of their client. Her goal is to use new technologies to help people globally. As a member of the Society of Women Engineers this June she was scheduled to help with a “free 3-Day non-residential camp for girls going into 7th, 8th, and 9th grades to encourage them to explore careers in the field of engineering.” In the fall she will be a Peer Advisor for a group of incoming freshman (Class of 2015) during Wildcat Welcome Week.
