Rebecca Dever: The persistent pursuit of bringing dignity to the homeless and forgotten

Like many of her peers, Rebecca Dever (’21 MDE) entered the First-Year Engineering Program not certain of which engineering discipline she would study. Through the program’s career exploration opportunities, she quickly found her identity and pathway with a new concentration in the Multidisciplinary Engineering Undergraduate Degree Program. But before we talk about her specific pathway, this story must first take you back to the remarkable beginning of Rebecca's journey - in a potter’s field.

Watch her story unfold shortly after she arrived at Purdue in the fall of 2017. We go back to the spot where her love of service bloomed and her persistence took off.
