Ariel Hall

Student Leadership Experience Award - SAMPE 2024

The Student Leadership Experience Award is an award that is given out by SAMPE to various students across the country and the world who participate and give back to their community (especially within SAMPE). This award helps students to experience SAMPE and everything that the conference has to offer – such as participating in Networking events, going to tours, exhibits, speeches, and tutorials. With this award, I was not only able to meet other students and create connections, but I also learned more about the research and technology that is happening in the industry – which has made me excited about the future.

Ariel will be graduating in 2025 with dual degrees in Polymer Materials Engineering and Chemistry.

This year's Industrial Design fall quarter junior class participated in an international design challenge for houseware products.
