You’ll graduate before you know it.

Name, School, Major, Hometown: Ahmed Abouelnaga, SEAS, Computer Science, Brooklyn, New York

Where are you going? Staying in NYC! I will be working at IBM as a Software Developer!

What are three things you learned at Columbia and would like to share with the Class of 2030?

Try to be involved with events as much as possible and appreciate the time you have here, since you’ll graduate before you even know it.

“Back in my day…” I remember Freshman year spring watching the world cup in the John Jay Floor Lounge. Core college memory. 

What was your favorite class at Columbia? Malware and Reverse Engineering

Whom would you like to thank? My mom. I wouldn’t be who I am today without her.

One thing to do before graduating? Make sure to take plenty of photos and create as many memories as you can before you graduate. College is an experience that can’t be replicated once it is over.

Any regrets? Should’ve been more involved on campus in my earlier years of college, but I was able to do this in my later years anyway. So no regrets!
