Yili Lin

Yili Lin, CSE undergraduate program advisor, brings a warm, proactive, and caring presence to her advising work with Computer Science and Engineering students. Nominators highlighted her exceptional preparation, her ability to remember students across time and distance, and her genuine concern for students’ lives beyond the classroom. One student recalled being recognized by Yili over a year after a brief meeting abroad, noting that it “helped me develop a stronger sense of belonging within the College of Engineering community.” Whether helping students balance varsity athletics with a rigorous CS curriculum or finding a path forward during a family emergency, Yili approaches every interaction with care and confidence.
