We have such an awesome community and I’m so glad that these compliments can highlight and celebrate that. Hope you enjoy!
Hi Evan! Thank you for being such a wonderful person to lean on when I need someone to talk to. Thank you for always being supportive of me and letting me bounce my thoughts off of you. You’re such a good soul. I know you’ll go far :)
Hannah is a magical human who manages to cheer me up whenever I see her! This is true both in the everyday, and especially when I’m sad and need a shoulder to lean on. Thank you, Hannah.
Diego Alvarez is the first Oliner I ever met, and he made me feel, and still makes me feel, welcome and accepted at Olin. He can also spin fire like no tomorrow, and I will always aspire to that level of awesome.
Kyle Combes is such a gentle soul. He makes me feel loved and listened to, and continues to bring me joy whenever I see his face, even if it is over video chat and not in person.
Evan New-Schmidt is one of my favorite people. I think he really embodies what it means to be an Oliner: He is a very capable engineer, but also cares deeply about the community, always seems to have time for the wacky shenanigans that just scream ‘Olin’. He’s a super genuine and kind person and I find him very inspiring
Lucky is probably the strongest person that I know. He is the embodiment of work hard, play hard, and whenever things get tough, Lucky always steps up to the plate and doesn’t give up until the job is done, and I respect that so much
Rachel Won is a people person, and she’s just so passionate about… everything. Truly inspiring.
Kian, I cherish every REEEEEEEEE you’ve shared with me
Anna has such a great energy to her! Also 10/10 good barber
To my partner in all sorts of things: thank you for being you. You are incredible.
Anil is super hard-working, technically experienced, patient, and has been a great mentor and role model for me. Thanks for all you’ve done for me and the formula team <3
Has there ever been as smart and perceptive an Oliner as Ava? I doubt it.
I cannot fathom how Caitrin does all the things she does, and at such a high level. I want to be Caitrin when I grow up.
Mark Somerville is The Real Deal. Seriously, people, I cannot fathom an Olin without him. We are so, so lucky for his leadership. (Never leave us, Mark!)
WAY TO GO Presidential Search team! You ROCK!
Sharon Breitbart is the most unsung hero of Olin. No one here appreciates her enough, but I DO! Thank you for your amazingness, Sharon!

Rob and Jean – you have been so supportive of students during this time while still providing engaging class time. I always look forward to six microbes class <3
Prisha Sadhwani is such a kind-hearted and warm human, who’s always looking out for her friends, even mid-pandemic :)
Carlos, thank you for stepping up so hard when the class of ’22 needed you. I know you had all your own personal stresses to, and everything you did was way beyond the scope of the position you signed up for, but your energy never faltered, and you worked so selflessly hard, which I appreciate endlessly.
Erhardt, you inspire me every day. I think you’ve helped me find purpose and guidance and I’m so immensely grateful to you. I hope that I can be even a little bit like you!
