In the article "Launching into a New Orbit," GW Today featured Jaeden Gbaba, a first-year GW Engineering student and Trachtenberg Scholar. The story delves into where Gbaba's interest in science and engineering originated, how he arrived at GW, and what his current life at the university looks like.

Here is an excerpt from the article: "Gbaba’s favorite class during his first semester at GW was Professor Sharokh Ahmadi’s introductory course in electrical and computer engineering. He enjoyed building a robot (it looks a little like a small car on two wheels) that uses sensors to follow a path. On weekends, he likes to sleep in and catch up on his reading. He is also exploring opportunities in D.C., including its cuisine. He likes a range of food, from burgers and fries to Italian or Asian dishes."
