Undergraduate Peer Mentor
About
Majors: Computer Science and German
Bio: Hallo! My name is Jadon Nielsen. I’m a senior from Valparaiso, Indiana, studying Computer Science and German. I first began learning German in middle school – originally to my dismay – but I discovered a love for learning the language thanks to the German Department here at U-M. I’m very excited to join the German Peer Mentoring team for this upcoming year. I’ve participated in on-campus programs like the Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP), the Orientation Leader Program, and various clubs including Michigan Yoga Club (MYC), German Club, and the Michigan Basketball Analytics Association. I’ve also studied abroad at the Goethe Institut in Freiburg in the summer of 2022. I’d love to speak to interested students about any of these experiences or what it’s like pairing German with a major like Computer Science.
