Hi! My name is Sherrette Yeates. I an Electrical Engineering major with a minor in Business Administration. I was born and raised in the beautiful islands of Trinidad and Tobago. I am a Senior RA (Resident Assistant) and I enjoy being a resource for residents. In May 2011, I began serving as the President of the Black Engineering Student Society (BESS) - Northeastern’s chapter of the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE). On May 4th 2012, I will graduate from Northeastern University! My personal credo : "The surest way not to fail is to determine to succeed" - Richard Brinsley Sheridan

The big day finally came - I have officially graduated from Northeastern University! Thank you bloggers for all who've followed me for the past year! It's been quite a pleasure writing these posts and sharing my Northeastern experiences with you. Good luck on all your future endeavors! And, in case you're wondering where I'm going next - I'll be a Project Engineer for Whirlpool Corporation with assignments across that globe.

Freedom so close..I can taste it
Hello bloggers!
I can't believe that I am one day away from submitting my final assignment of my undergraduate career. It's such an amazing feelings to know that the past five years have come down to less to two weeks left at Northeastern! Stay tuned to find out where I'll be headed after May 4th :-)

It's 77 degrees and...
Hello bloggers!
Today's weather is really amazing and everyone is in such a great mood! My Nanotechnology professor let us out of class early, we watched a movie in my Organizational Behavior class and I had time to grad lunch at Rebecca's cafe in the student center! Tonight is our regular BESS meeting and we're discussing Engineering in the Caribbean so it should be a fun event.
I hope it's warm where you are and if it isn't, I'll soak up some sun for you :-)

Counting down
Spring break is over and it's back to reality. Back to completing capstone, waiting on graduate schools to send decision letters and preparing to leave NU in 54 days!! This week the seniors will be celebrating the 50th day mark with a wine tasting event. I'm looking forward to liming with my fellow seniors. Here's to 54 days of laughs, great experiences and a lifetime of memories!

Spring break was really fun! I visited Philly and spent a few days around the city being a tourist. This was taken 500 feet above the city, on top City Hall.

Today I walked through Gallery 360 and thought I'd take in some pics. This is an art gallery on campus that showcases art by students, staff and faculty at NU. It's free and open to public as well.

What does Social Justice mean to you? In recognition of World Day of Social Justice, I asked my residents to respond to that question by writing their responses on a hand-shaped cutout. I then made it into a mural in my dorm!
