Cecilia Li

Perhaps the world’s greatest ferret enthusiast, Cecilia Li once doodled more than 160 ferrets on a single sheet of paper. Her love for the soft, furry mammal matches for her love of sleep and robotics. Joining the robotics team in the winter of her sophomore year, Cecilia quickly became Webb’s robotics queen, spending more time working in the program than any of her teammates as their co-captain. She also exercises her leadership skills as a dorm prefect in North Hutch. On the weekends, Cecilia loves to take a break from work and sleep in; she would prefer to sleep in every day if not for morning classes. While ferrets, sleep, and robotics are a few of her staples, she also harbors a passion for science. She has attended two summer peccary trips and taken full advantage of Webb’s physics and paleontology programs. Because of this passion, Cecilia currently plans to attend UCSD in the fall and she intends to major in Earth Sciences. Her dream after college is to own seven cats and work as a museum curator or librarian because she loves calm settings. Even though she would tell her freshman self to form more friendships and procrastinate less, she is leaving Webb with a new plush ferret and no major regrets.
