A former captain reflects on his memories with MetRocketry
“I was a member of MetRocketry for 5 years, starting as a general member in my first year of undergrad and eventually serving as a 2-year captain during my last year of undergrad and first year of graduate studies. MetRocketry was more than just an extracurricular for my resume; it was a close-knit group of friends who grew and learned together. Taking on different roles within the team allowed me to expand my skills across multiple areas—from technical and engineering skills to leadership and management.
My proudest achievement with MetRocketry was witnessing the continuous growth of its members. Over those years, I saw three generations of students start from scratch, gain experience, and rise to become team leads, project managers, and captains. It’s a testament to the team’s culture of learning, mentorship, and resilience.”
