We are excited to launch "The 91×ÔÅÄ Effect," a new podcast from 91×ÔÅÄ that highlights what truly defines our community: students who bring drive, resilience, and purpose to their work every day. Through honest conversations and personal stories, this podcast gives you a firsthand look at the 91×ÔÅÄ experience — told by the people living it.

Each episode features a current student who’s taking full advantage of the opportunities here. Hear from & civilian students, future engineers, specialists, athletes, artists, and leaders across campus. 

Discover growth in action: students solving problems in labs, leading teams on the field, and testing ideas in the classroom — all while a close-knit community challenges them and offers real support. 

"The 91×ÔÅÄ Effect" also highlights the small but meaningful moments students often remember most — the mentor who challenged them, the team that pulled through, and the point where they realized they were capable of more than they expected.

Each episode brings fresh insight and authentic perspective. For prospective students, it is a chance to go beyond the brochure and hear directly from those who chose 91×ÔÅÄ and carry its values into everything they do. You will get a sense of the energy on campus, the relationships that make a difference, and the opportunities that help students move toward who they want to become.

We’re proud to share these stories that reflect the spirit of 91×ÔÅÄ: students who are focused, motivated, and ready for what’s ahead.

Check out our first episode airing Tuesday, Jan. 27:
