Life has a way of testing us when we least expect it. While some stumble over those challenges, others rise to the occasion. Meet five students, including two from the College of Technology, who have faced life's obstacles head on -- refusing to let anything get in the way as they pursue their dreams. They are Boilermakers who found an opportunity. Alisha Garcia (left) and Crissy Travis (right) share their stories of determination that brought them to Purdue and the College of Technology. Read the inspiring stories of all "Five Students Who are Opportunity Makers".
