My name is Lizbeth Solis, and I am a Computer Science student. This is my senior year, and I transferred from MJC. I am currently conducting research through RISE with Dr. Koh about Human Centered Design, and with Dr. Ayat Hatem about Social Network Analysis. I love being a Transfer Peer Mentor because I can help others through the path that I already went through and try to make their transition as smooth as possible. I am super excited to meet a lot of fellow students and help them when needed.
