Today’s interviewee, Titus Roesler, is a senior majoring in Electrical Science and Engineering. As a first-year at MIT, Roesler joined the Experimental Study Group (ESG), a learning community for first-years that offers the general Institute requirements (GIRs) in a small, tight-knit class setting. As he reports it, “I never left! Since then, I’ve stuck around as an associate advisor for new cohorts of first-year ESG students, as a teaching assistant for classes on calculus and group theory, and as an instructor for special seminars in electrical engineering that I’ve designed from scratch and taught myself.” Roesler’s commitment to his academic community goes deep. Besides his teaching work, he is a member of the Undergraduate Student Advisory Group in EECS (USAGE), which provides student feedback to the Department. Roesler took time out of his schedule to answer a few questions about his experience at MIT.

The EECS community came together to celebrate faculty, student, and staff achievements over the past year.
