Welcome

Letter from the Caltech Quest Liaison

Hi Caltech Scholars!

Welcome to Caltech's Quest Scholars Network chapter page! I am Richie Hernandez, a sophomore majoring in mechanical engineering. I am excited to be the Quest Liaison for Caltech, which became a QuestBridge partner college in 2008.

As Quest Liaison, I hope to bring and attract more Scholars to Caltech’s amazing student body. I also want to create a tighter and more active community of Scholars.

At Caltech, the sun always shines and the air is fresh. The campus is beautiful, and is accented by an amazing view of the nearby mountains. Caltech is a tiny school of about one thousand undergrads that consists of just over 20 Quest Scholars. Despite the size, everyone forms a tight group that knows how to support each other. The life of a Techer may solely consist of sets, sets, and more sets, but they know how to manage their workload and enjoy the simple SoCal life from time to time. It can be stressful at Caltech, but only if you make it so.

Caltech is always welcoming to newcomers who want to start their own adventures!

Richie Hernandez, Caltech '15
