Ryan Cheng didn't expect to graduate from a STEM school with a renewed passion for storytelling.

He came to study biology, not knowing that his passion for creativity, paired with the support of the RPI community, would lead him down a different path. https://t.co/tkEU0qdIX0

Zisi Blades knew dual majoring while playing basketball would be tough. He did it anyway and kept adding more. As he graduates and starts a new job, he credits a schedule that never slowed down for shaping who he is today. https://t.co/YibL9Yi07m #RPI2026
