Laura Y. Cabrera Associate Professor of Engineering Science and Mechanics

Book Title: Demian

Author: Herman Hesse

Selection Statement:

I have always had an inquisitive mind, and have several books that have shaped both my personal and professional life. But one book that was a catalyzer in my life was Herman Hesse’s “Demian.” The book confronted me at a very young age with the constant struggle between what is right and wrong, and with questions about who one is meant to be. Little did I know at the time that this first encounter would lead later in my career to closing the loop in my training.
