Some of our team visited the COOLroom at Rutgers University on Monday. Tina Haskins, 103 Alum was our host:

Thanks to Tina for helping to inspire the next generation. Among the many topics Tina discussed with us was how her HS experience with 103 helped lead to where she is today, passion at work, and the way she views hard problems and her desire to solve them.
