Our son, Andrés González, received a great education at GSB. Additionally, he was a member of the soccer team, coached by Tony Bednarsky, who was great to him. Andrés has since graduated from Colgate University, Class of 2021, with high honors and is now working at Barclays in NYC. We can attribute his success, in part, because he attended GSB. We’ll always be thankful to the school!

The world is our classroom, and my education at Gill showed me a world that could exist. That motivated me to stay on my career path on computer science and focus on it even harder. Being a PhD candidate in computer science specializing in systems is not just about computers, it’s about systemic equity and having digital infrastructure serve everyone, and I don’t think I would have been thinking about this for so long if I hadn’t been introduced to how tech can shape the world around us at Gill. I want to see more students (perhaps maybe more young women? ) have more opportunities to get into STEM at Gill and use Gill’s wonderful liberal arts education to give them some extra tools in that regard.
