"What does it feel like to wear the Red Robe?" We brought members of #NCState18 into our studio and asked them to try on their cap and gown and look in the mirror. Then we asked them the question, off the cuff, "how does it feel?" Here's what @NCStateEngr grad Justin Davis (@justindavi5) had to say, unfiltered. 
And more on his time at NC State: "Something that really stood out for me was my involvement in Engineers’ Council. I joined as a freshman and worked my way up through the ranks. I was president this last year, and one thing that’s great about Engineers’ Council is that we’re part of a national association, so I got to go to Purdue and Arizona State, and it allowed me to meet so many talented and outgoing engineers across the country. We learned from each other and networked. I appreciate opportunities like these that NC State Engineering provided throughout my time here. 
I joined Mechanical Engineering because I like science and math, I like building things, I like solving problems. I hope that I can, and I don’t want to be corny and say “change the world,” or anything like that. Of course, we’d like to do that. But, if I can make one product or design one thing that can help one person, just one person, that’s all I want. It’s not like I need to go and build a crazy structure and everyone knows my name. I just hope that I can use my degree and my knowledge and do good things."
