Getting to know Joe Pedo ...

Why did you choose NJIT as your university?
I chose NJIT for its academics. I wanted to major in computer engineering and I received a great financial package from the honors college.
Why did you choose to be part of the NJIT Men's Swimming & Diving program?
I have never not been on an athletic team during high school. I enjoyed getting my mind off of academics, plus I love swimming. I had intentions on joining a club team if I went to college, however instead I tried out for the Division I NJIT Swimming & Diving team and am so glad I made the cut.
