In this episode, Paul and Rhea talk to Jules, Emma and Bailey from USC's chapter of Queers in Engineering, Science and Technology, otherwise known as "QuEST." As one of our diversity organizations, QuEST provides resources for individuals seeking both social and professional opportunities as a queer engineering student, as well as a warm, welcoming community. This was one of my personal favorite episodes to record, major shoutout to Emma, Bailey and Jules for bringing their stories, experiences and warm enthusiasm to Viterbi Voices!! Tune in for a wonderful conversation about identity, the value of strong communities and friendship on campus, and a little bit of fun small-town history!!
