Mechanical Engineering and Business, Economics & Management, Class of 2010
Dannah is a senior in Fleming House, originally from San Diego, CA. She is a tour guide, a student reader for the freshman admissions committee, and a food critic for the campus newspaper. A member of the Caltech Dance Troupe, Dannah also practices yoga and aerobics. After graduating from Caltech, Dannah plans to enter the work industry; she has worked at the Caltech Biological Imaging Center and has had internships with Boeing in Los Angeles and Schlumberger in Houston, TX (see previous Caltech blog, “Adventures in Internships”). Her second blog “Class in Session: E/ME 105” discussed her experience in an engineering course that involved designing for (and traveling to!) the developing world of Guatemala. Read her latest blog: “Sweet Life of a Second Term Senior” to see how she keeps busy with her senior thesis and extracurricular activities.
It happened....I GRADUATED from Caltech after 4 years, 2 degrees and 1 amazing experience. The ceremony took place last Friday, June 11, 2010. Here I am the day on graduation eve, scoping out the assembled stage and chairs. Since my last name begins with 'A', I was the second person…
As I am gearing up for graduation in a few days from Caltech, I realize there are many of you out there about to embark on the same journey I began 4 years ago. We are probably sharing the same feelings at the moment: uncertainty, excitement and anxiety over what…

The admissions office moved a few…
when I least expected it (I was in the library working on my presenation!). So now my mind can finally rest knowing that I have figured that out. I'm excited about the job because I get to use both my mechanical engineering background along with my business background...and get to…

I got to put all the things I wanted in my stack and was so happy to see it come to life and happen on ditch day :). This past weekend, I have been recuperating and fighting off the beginnings of a cold. I guess my body does that after…
Hey guys! I've been so preoccupied with all this stuff going on...that I was completely taken aback when I returned from spray painting for DD to find an email informing me that I had won a free 32G iPad!! I participated in the Senior Survey where I answered questions about…
since women weren't present in the institute until 1975. After the reception, we were seated to a program that featured the presentation of donation checks from the classes. Thank you alumni for your generous donations! President Chameau :) There were alums from the class of 1940!! The experience really made…
cue the banging on pots and pans The admissions staff were very surprised to say the least... We watched from afar... We waited patiently in the kitchen where we had their bribe waiting for them: donuts! We had so much fun putting together this stack for the admissions office...we really…
Hope you had a wonderful weekend and Mother's Day! Wanted to take a sec on this post to wish my mom a VERY HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! Last year, I was able to go down to San Diego and surprise her...but this year, I've been backed up with the craziness here…

Hey guys! I've been busy on two important things that seniors have to deal with during this time of year: my THESIS and DITCH DAY. The other night...I headed to the art chateau to get started on silk-screening the t-shirts for our Ditch Day Stack. There were other groups of…
over at the convention center, so it was close by :) There were about 250 other schools in attendance, and thousands of high school students and their families. I was sent as the representative for the Caltech booth by the admissions office...and I was so nervous! I had never done…
and I think the MOSH spoke about having a follow-up advanced course next month... :)…
and was inspired by such young bright minds. As I watched them present, I thought about myself and how young I was when I first found science to be exciting and almost magical...I only hope that their desire to learn and question the world around them continues for years to…
you are really just breaking down complicated problems and using resources and everything you know to solve it...I felt very accomplished afterward, and I know now for sure that my preparation at Caltech has really taught me a lot and made me knowledgeable for this exam.…
(hope it turns out good!) I picked up my red cap and gown a few days earlier from the bookstore so I could hang it up and steam out the wrinkles for the picture (It's a tradition that members of Fleming House may graduate in their house color, red if…
