The Behrend science program has prepared me for my future career....

In many ways. The nursing program is under the school of science and it, so far, has allowed me to grow my skills as a nurse. The staff makes sure that I am comfortable and confident with everything.

Advice I would give to incoming students is...

Get involved but not just with clubs but within your major as well. Work with your professors, volunteer at events, get yourself out there! You won’t regret it.

My favorite location on campus is...

The top of the parking garage! The view of Erie is amazing, especially while the sun is setting. Campus and Erie all together looks gorgeous.

My favorite laboratory experiment was...

In chemistry. The titrations were really cool and interesting! Loved seeing the colors change.
