Changes

Starting his journey at the painted mountains of Western Colorado, he drove gallantly through the winding roads and deep canyons which make up what is known as the rocky mountains. The journey was long, tiresome, and required discipline of the highest rank, but after 4 long, grueling, and tiresome hours in a warm automatic car, he made it to the Eastern slope, and to a small town called by the name of a star's gentle and warm light''School: Golden. In this town he came to the treasure which he so desired: the hospitable, freindy, and ever improving campus which is ''' Colorado School of Mines. For the next four years he would live here, practicing and mastering skills which are impossible to master: self-improvement, self-awareness, leadership, knowledge applicability, and so much more. As he struggles and grows from day to day, the dream in his heart holds string and true. The world will be his. And this, is only where the story begins...https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/hzbzvxfEQOXaqFLKkVPNSx-Djcl06nBKRMn56szkzOt3C24XCTVtqswkGOGBwuO-b8oWCLsGAKlEnIcTQOXVFmBdFQQXKfWet7dzlW7_DSo63Y2FV4rASfjtvOGN3hgpYZPYA-Z5

Ahem. On a more serious note, Torin Johnson is a University Innovation Fellow originally from Grand Junction, Colorado, and '''What he does now attends the Colorado School of Mines, where he is pursuing a degree :''' Masters student in Computer Science + Robotics and Intelligent Systems. After graduating, he plans to work in the Co-Founder of Grwth (mental health start-up and coming robotics industry for a few years, then head back to school for a Masters in Business (possibly a MBA), writing and hopefully at producing music on the Wharton school of business). Eventually he wishes to start his own company in the tech field, most likely in robotics.side

Throughout all of his life, Torin had been interested in building, creating, and innovating. It wasn't until his Sophomore year of high school, however, that he became the person he is today. This change happened for one main reason''Contact him about: He met girls. Yes, this seems quite inadequate as far as explaining his passion for leadership, involvement, change, technology, academia, ''' Leading and peoplecreating strong community within teams, but rest assuredcross-cultural communication, this was starting a company (more specifically the case. You see, these girls were very involved in the school, very academicentrepreneurial process), how to build and overall the coolest people he had ever met. From thiskeep a strong network, Torin developed a passion how to change himself, and talk to change his influential people (schoolpresidents, which grew to his collegecompany Vps, his countryFEMA managers, and then the worldetc. He became involved in student senate, which helped him to realize he can make a difference), self care and after becoming the Student Body Associate Vice Presidentgrowth, he could see it. He also joined the Future Business Leaders of Americawriting a song together, which helped him to realize that he loved businessmaking pour over coffee, discussions about human behavior and after he became a chapter presidenteducational reform, made him realize he could make a difference through this.and if you just want to chat about life :)

Now that he's in college, Torin has taken what he learned from his early life and is expanding upon it every day''Email:''' tajohnson@mymail. He loves learning from others, whether it be in life skills mines.edu or academics, and loves socializing and networking with people as a whole. He also loves to think. To expand upon worldy ideas and create new philosophies and theories about life. He still loves to create, and works on projects whenever he can, but now he is quite busy with involvment at the school. You see, he's joined the robotics club, where he became the Vice President of Coin, the Mines Activities Council, where he is on an E-Days committee and helps where he can, the Acts of Random Kindness Club, and the Entrepreneurship club, where he is helping to bring it back to life on campus and has an exciting future planned outtorin. He also hopes to join the Undergraduate Student Government, and the Peer Mentor Programturbo@gmail.com

Although at a school for engineers, Torin loves the liberal arts; He loves to sing, to write, to read, to play guitar, and to learn about history as well as people. More specifically, Torin loves to write songs, to lose himself in a good book '''Phone:''' (especially about self improvment, history, or a good Shakespeare play970), and to learn about the psychology of people.-640-8353

LastlyStarting his journey at the painted mountains of Western Colorado, Torin lives by four rules he drove gallantly through the winding roads and one quote: 1deep canyons which make up what is known as the rocky mountains. The Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. 2. Be journey was long, tiresome, and required discipline of the highest rank, but after 4 long, grueling, and tiresome hours in a warm automatic car, he made it to the Eastern slope, and to a Man (or woman) small town called by the name of your worda star's gentle and warm light: Golden. 3. Everything in ModerationIn this town he came to the treasure which he so desired: Everything is flawedthe hospitable, everything is balancedfriendly, everything and ever improving campus which is beautifulColorado School of Mines. Through these thoughts I rule For the world. In other wordsnext four years he would live here, too much of anything is bad. 4. Mind Over Bodypracticing and mastering skills which are impossible to master: A sound mind needs a sound bodyself-improvement, self-awareness, leadership, knowledge applicability, and vice versaso much more. Therefore As he practices meditation (struggles and grows from day to day, the dream in his own way) heart holds strong and works out regularlytrue. The world will be his. And this, is only where the story begins...

"Everyone thinks Time certainly flies. I'm now editing this page after four years of undergraduate schooling, and life is quite different than how I imagined it would be. What a dork I was to have written the above opening paragraph, and what a dork I still am to be leaving it.[[File:Torin Johnson.jpg|alt=|thumb|Torin.jpg]]Torin Johnson is a UIF originating from Grand Junction, Colorado. He's completed his undergraduate degree in Computer Science at the Colorado School of Mines, and is currently pursuing his masters in CS at the same school. He originally planned to work in the up and coming robotics industry for the years following graduation, with the goal of starting his own robotics business. After four years of changing schooling, he still has the worlddream of starting his own business, but no one thinks after many experiences including robotics research, multiple robotics courses, leadership in the robotics club, and exploring the land of robotics (Japan study abroad), his interests have shifted from robots to people. Now, he plans to continue his education in Ireland in the direction of behavioral psychology and mental health, with the goal of starting a social entrepreneurial venture in the field. Through his time in undergraduate studies, Torin was heavily involved in the development of the Entrepreneurship and Innovation department on campus, including heading the entrepreneurship club for a time, taking many flagship courses as a test subject, building connections with Rockies Venture Club through being a business analytics intern, TAing and helping to plan out the Innov8X course and Innov8X Studio (Hacking for Home Security, and solving a problem you're passionate about), and leading design thinking workshops for students and faculty. He also participated in a community service trip to Nepal for Hike For Help, and studied abroad in Japan. In addition, he taught a freshman success seminar course for two semesters as a Peer Mentor, and volunteered as a camp councilor for the Mines Oredigger camp for four camps. His work experience, beyond Rockies Venture Club, includes working as a project engineering intern at JR Clark Enterprises, and working on his own (albeit still unprofitable) entrepreneurial venture (which has mainly consisted of web development, machine learning development, and lots of student mental health research). Torin will also be an adjunct teacher for an undergraduate computer science course in the fall, as well as a graduate level TA for Innov8X. Throughout his entire time at Mines, Torin has loved liberal arts on the side of his technical education. This includes participating in the McBride Honors program for a minor in public affairs, pursuing a music career on the side with song writing and music production (as well as playing live and holding jam sessions with others), writing creative stories, reading many fiction novels, participating in the Mines swing dancing club, and loving philosophical discussions on the human condition, and conversations pertaining to human psychology, education, and policy. Some of his creative and song writing work can be found at: <nowiki>https://www.torinj.com</nowiki> Torin is also in the constant pursuial of changing himselfself-growth, working out and doing yoga most days, learning about and cooking healthy meals, reflecting on his past and future often, constantly learning from others, and always preparing and looking for opportunities in the direction of his life interests. =Related Links= [http://universityinnovation.org/Colorado%20School%20of%20Mines <span style=" font- Leo Tolstoysize: large;"><b>Colorado School of Mines University Innovation Fellows</b></span>]<div>[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Colorado_School_of_Mines <b>Colorado School of Mines</b>] '''University Innovation Fellows''' Spring 2018: *[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Adam_Marcinkowski Adam Marcinkowski]*[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Curtis_Harrison Curtis Harrison]*[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Michael_Thuis Michael Thuis]*[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Torin_Johnson Torin Johnson] Spring 2017: *[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Emma_May Emma May]*[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Tanner_McAdoo Tanner McAdoo]*[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Sarah_Ingram Sarah Ingram]*[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Samuel_Warfield Samuel Warfield] Spring 2016: *[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Mallory_Britz Mallory Britz]*[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Daniel_Dickason Daniel Dickason]*[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Trevor_Clevenger Trevor Clevenger]*[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Tara_Maestas Tara Maestas]*[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Asya_Sergoyan Asya Sergoyan]*[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Nicholas_Yuan Nicholas Yuan] Spring 2014: *[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Corey_Brugh Corey Brugh]</div>[[Category:Student Contributors|Student_Contributors]][[Category:Colorado_School_of_Mines_(2018_Spring_cohort)]][[Category:Student_Contributors]]{{CatTree|Colorado_School_of_Mines}}
