Fellow:Jared Hanley

 

Jared Hanley is a University Innovation Fellow and Mechanical Engineering undergraduate at the University of the Virgin Islands (UVI). His main goal is to become a Mechanical engineer with a focus in the automotive industry.

His decision to be part of a prestigious organization and become a University Innovation Fellow opened a major opportunity for his advancement in leadership qualities. To be different and seek change for the better not only for myself but for my peers as well takes a great amount of courage and maturity. Through the training and workshops that comes along with becoming a fellow, change can truly be a reality in my community. This push that initializes my peers and I to become pioneers will commence a drive that enables us to become lifetime leaders of innovation. With that momentum, we will stand out of the crowd in every endeavor. That edge is why becoming a University Innovation Fellow is more than just a want. It is vital for a leader’s survival.

My passion lies in the world of motion, specifically but not limited to vehicles. That’s why I decided to take on the challenge of becoming a mechanical engineer. I have a love for the automotive industry beyond the heart of your everyday mechanic. I want to be behind the planning of the next best economical phenomenon. I feed my passion with the hobby of taking apart my car and customizing it to make something personal or a “mechanical image of me”.
