Pushing the Envelope - Alumnae Niniane Wang

Alumnae Niniane Wang (BS EAS '98) is the chief technology officer of Minted, a social-commerce company. She explains, "I’m one of those annoying people who loved everything about Caltech, starting with the day I first heard of it." As an undergraduate she was inspired by Professor Schroder and she recalls, "Peter Schröder at the time was quite an imposing professor. His first assignment to us was, 'If you don’t know C++, learn it now.' People rise to the level of expectations that you have for them. If you expect they’ll be strong, then they’ll be strong. And I learned C++." [Alumni Association Article]
