“When people call 911, they are usually in a perilous situation — often between life and death — and need help quickly,” says Ademola Adesokan, a Ph.D. student in computer science. “But depending on the quantity of calls coming in at once and the amount of time spent on each call at the 911 center, they may have a delayed response during a time in which every second or minute can seem like an eternity.”
When students doubt their ability to succeed or are unsure about their plans for after high school, Raphael “Tito” Marzo has a simple but powerful message for them: “Sí se puede” — or “Yes you can.”
This is the same message Marzo, who will graduate in December with a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from Missouri S&T, heard countless times four years ago when he attended the Sí Se Puede program coordinated by the university’s student chapter of the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE).
