Why this exists

Hello! I made this site because, as an undergrad, I didn't know about all the opportunities I had. It's based on my own experience, so it won't match everyone's. Questions or comments? Email me at mohamed.aljahmi@qc.cuny.edu. I'm always happy to help and can point you to the right resources on campus.
