Gloria Ruiz-Briceno

Transfer Bridge Fellow

As a transfer student from Grand Rapids Community College (GRCC) studying Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan, I understand how important it is to find a sense of belonging in a new environment. I joined optiMize as a Transfer Bridge Fellow to help other transfer students find their community and make the most of their Michigan experience.

Through IOE, I hope to learn how to optimize systems and find better ways to solve everyday problems. Outside of academics, I enjoy trying new restaurants, going to concerts, and meeting new people!
