DEDICATED LEARNER. SCIENTIST. CREATIVE.

“Get involved in independent studies as soon as you find a subject or an idea you are interested in learning more about or even a professor you’d like to work with. The knowledge you gain from independent studies is invaluable. You will also make great connections with like minded people, and the professors get to know you on an individual level. This can be useful if you ever need advice or even a reference letter.”
