Madeline Fabela, E23

Madeline Fabela, a junior, is from the state of Texas. She attended Harmony School of Innovation where she found herself invested in the world of engineering. In previous years, she was involved with the Association of Latin American Students (ALAS) and the Student-Teacher Outreach Mentorship Program (STOMP). A Mechanical Engineering major, Madeline is currently the President of the Society of Latinx Engineers and Scientists (SOLES) and is part of the Bridge for Engineering Success at Tufts (BEST). She feels strongly that Tufts is a place that “provides students with excellent academic opportunities and astonishing support for those of us who come from underrepresented backgrounds.”  Having the support of the BEST community was extremely helpful for her first year at Tufts, and through BEST, she received “encouragement, guidance, friendship, and a safe space for me to grow.”
