Michael Mortenson is a Mechanical Engineering major from Las Vegas, Nevada. He is pursuing a minor in music.

One of the highlights of the Honors Program for Michael is Chocolate Milk Discussions. He said, “I learn more in 50 minutes on Fridays than I learn in class all week. Plus, there’s chocolate milk!” For Michael, the most rewarding part of the Honors journey is getting to work with other Honors students. He loves having conversations with bright people who care about learning and want to know more. Following graduation, Michael plans to pursue a Ph.D. in Acoustics. Read Michael’s entries here:
