Santiago Giraldo

Student, Orientation Leader (NSE), Dean's Leader, Lead Teaching Assistant (School of Computing)

Hi! My name is Santiago Giraldo, and I am a Senior Computer Science major with a Mathematics and Spanish minor here at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I am originally from Medellin, Colombia, and moved to the small town of Cambridge, Nebraska at the age of ten. This move was a substantial part of my life and at times I was unsure about the moving process, learning a brand new language, and attending a new school. Thankfully, I was welcomed into the community and could teach myself English in what some would consider “incredibly fast”. Now, I am to the point where new people I meet cannot believe that I am not from the United States due to my lack of accent. However, I have been able to maintain my fluency in Spanish and continue to improve my English vocabulary more and more. I graduated from Cambridge High School with a class size of thirty and was super excited about continuing my education at Nebraska.

My Involvement

  • Throughout my time at Nebraska, I have met numerous friends, faculty, and staff who have helped shape me into who I am today. Nebraska has offered me once-in-a-lifetime opportunities including being a STEM Connect scholar, networking with professors, participating in various events on campus, being a part of novel research in the NIMBUS Lab, having the pleasure of welcoming new students to Nebraska as a Dean's Leader in the School of Computing, help ease the transition of incoming students to the university by facilitating interaction, discussions, and introducing campus resources as an Orientation Leader, and look forward to being a Teaching Assistant, help organize the staff of the Student Resource Center and Advising Center and recruiting students to serve as Undergraduate Teaching Assistants as an Undergraduate Lead in the School of Computing.
