Emmanuel Megnanglo, from BENIN
Language: French

Hello there! My is Emmanuel MEGNANGLO, you can call me E.  I am now a junior majoring in Computer Science and Information Technology (CSIT), and I am part of the Trine Men Basketball Team. I am a technology lover and listen to music a lot, I am also a music producer in my free time.

I might be tall, and I don’t like to smile all day, but do not be afraid because of that! I am very open minded always find time if it’s to help someone or just talk to the person. College can be hard and confusing but having a friend can help a lot and I’m willing to be that friend. See you on campus soon!!!!!

My name is Sarah Alfadhl, and I am a Biomedical Engineering major. I arrived to the USA five years ago with my family. I transferred from different college to Trine last year. I am so excited to meet all the new undergrad students and share what I learned about Trine from past year. I love traveling, reading, hanging out with my friends, and learning new languages. I also like to learn about different cultures and try different food. I want to share one important thing I learned “always ask if you need help“

I hope that you are going to enjoy your time here at Trine!

Upasana Shrestha, from Nepal
Language: Nepalese   

My name is Upasana Shrestha but my friends call me Paso.  I am a senior in Biomedical Engineering.  I'm excited to meet all the new undergrads and show you around Trine. I love reading books, drawing, hanging out with my friends and cooking. I also enjoy the outdoors and travelling (especially to restaurants). I have been on an internship for the past year, so I am excited to come back for my final year. Trine, like any other school has its own ups and downs, but we truly have the most amazing community! I want to make your time here just as filled with fun, friendly and insightful as the past few years have been for me. I look forward to meeting you soon! 😊
