Caden byers

My name is Caden Byers, I’m a Civil Engineering
Technology student with a Japanese minor. I’m always
down to try new things. I stay engaged in everything I do,
whether it’s tackling a new project or diving into something
creative. I love art and video games. I have seen the highest
heights and lowest lows and still kept pushing forward to be
my best self.

Hi! My name is Troy Warren, and I am a sophomore at UNC
Charlotte pursuing a degree in Environmental Engineering.
I love to read, make music, and spend time outside. Please
don’t hesitate to come to my drop-in hours if you are in need
of any advising assistance!

excited to be a part of OSDS and engineering advising,
making sure my fellow engineers are doing the best they
can within their academics!
