This is the first story in a series of profiles of influential students on campus.

Underneath a flickering street lamp arching over the red bricks of Main Street, Liz Racca adjusts the sleeves of her black and gray flannel, leaning forward on the cold surface of an off-white bench. For a moment, she is silent, after having just spent the past few hours working on various homework assignments. Running her hands through her short, brown hair that barely reaches her ears, she turns and laughs. “I don’t want to be just a brain with legs,” Racca says, flashing a grin, raising her left eyebrow and the piercing attached to it. For more than a year Racca, a sophomore, has been studying mechanical engineering at the university, while also maintaining a full schedule.
