Two Mount Holyoke College students will spend the next year conducting advanced research as part of the Beckman Scholars Program. They will each conduct 15-month, one-on-one mentored research projects with College faculty.
“It was both the school’s physical environment and beautiful campus and the community environment [that attracted me to Mount Holyoke].”
For the first time in its history, Mount Holyoke College has been selected as a Beckman Scholars Program awardee by the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation. The foundation chose the College after a rigorous application process.
“I feel like my time at Mount Holyoke gave me the ability to gain the confidence that I feel was deep within me.”
After my lab experience at MHC, I completed a Ph.D. in Theoretical Computational Chemistry and work at ACS Nano and Nano Letters.
The background that I obtained with my biochemistry major and chemistry research at Mount Holyoke has enabled my success at Stanford. Having already done research at Mount Holyoke, I was prepared to read scientific literature, think critically, and work independently.
I learned to conduct independent research, program algorithms, and present my ideas effectively to multiple audiences.
My chemistry background at Mount Holyoke directly led me to specialize in theoretical and computational chemistry.
My strong science research background helped me better understand the fundamental aspect of medicine as it relates to clinical practice.
My chemistry background was integral to the work done during that summer since an extensive knowledge of chemistry is needed to follow the major tenets of proper conservation procedure, which are: never do something which cannot be undone, and preserve as much of the original object as possible.
