After 230 applicants and 159 interviewees, 90 new QUESTees were accepted to the QUEST Honors Program in late March. QUEST community, please give a warm welcome to Cohorts 37 and 38! I know you are just as excited as I am for the new QUESTees to experience the diversity, innovation, and intelligence that makes QUEST such an exceptional community to be a part of. Following the QUESTPress tradition, I reached out to a few newly accepted QUESTees to learn why they are excited for QUEST!
Udai Singh, an Information Systems and Finance double major in Cohort 37, told me, “I’m excited to take my business knowledge and technical experience a step further to create improvements in the world around us!” Udai, I know you’re going to love the QUEST data class next spring!

Amanda Liu, a Computer Science and Statistics double major, also in Cohort 37, is “excited to meet the rest of Cohort 37 and start working with real companies around the DMV and beyond!” Congratulations, Amanda. I’m so excited to see the impact you will have through your QUEST projects over the next three years.

Dahlia Andres, a Civil Engineering major in Cohort 38, shared with me that although she has been a very active Terp by networking and developing skills in various clubs and organizations during her first year on campus, she still felt like something was missing from her college experience. Upon being accepted to QUEST, Dahlia said she “knows now that [she] will have a community of peers who share her intellectual drive and curiosity and will one day call them family.” Thank you for sharing your beautiful story with me, Dahlia. Welcome to the QUEST family!

Maya Hopkins, an Operations Management & Business Analytics and Information Systems double major in Cohort 38, shared, “I’m most excited for the community aspect that QUEST has to offer! I can’t wait to work with a group of people who are just as passionate about making real change as I am.” Speaking from experience, Maya, you’ve just joined a group of some of the most ambitious and curious people on campus, and I can’t wait for you to get to know them.

Congratulations to all members of Cohorts 37 and 38! You have some very stimulating, challenging, and rewarding experiences ahead of you. QUEST community, please join me in welcoming the next generation of QUESTees!
