Meet Sam Kuhbander!

I am from Springboro, Ohio and majoring in software engineering. I have a passion for programming, design, and making a positive impact by utilizing technology. My parents both attended Miami University and I’ve always loved the school. In high school I always had strong skills in both science and math, so I was naturally drawn to engineering.

My first exposure to programming was a computer science course I took in high school and I was immediately hooked. I really enjoy solving difficult problems and I hope that software will allow me to find solutions to these problems. I believe that in the future software will continue to drive many industries and the technology will grow in scale. I was driven to join the institute because I want to be better prepared to be a leader in my field.

On campus I am member of the Scholars program and participate in research related to blockchain technology. Additionally, I love to spend time outdoors hiking and I am involved with the sailing team. I also helped to create a chapter of my fraternity Kappa Sigma at Miami University. This experience has helped me learn more about organization, team building, and communication.
