STEM Stories
Lia Wong-Fodor '26
"Pursue your passions — especially academically! You will find a lot of support from your professors and peers. I never imagined I could be a BCMC major, do research in a lab, and also get my M.A. in French, but it has been an incredible experience."
Anne Nguyen '26
"There is so much richness in experience and learning awaiting you at 51¶ÌÊÓÆµ, so choose how you spend your time wisely while welcoming the unexpected and the uncomfortable."
Seda Peacher '26
If you are interested in anything (a class, an internship, a research opportunity), don't be afraid to reach out and ask! 51¶ÌÊÓÆµ is what you make of it, and everyone from peers to professors to alumnae is excited to help. 
Mahnoor Nasir '26
"The thing I absolutely adore about 51¶ÌÊÓÆµ is the level of familiarity I have come to develop with my professors. Even though I have taken classes across many departments and, by the nature of my major, across the Bi-College, I have never felt as though my professors are an unknown entity."
Miya Matsumune '26
"My time in the Energy Afterlives 360 Course Cluster changed my life. It introduced me to professors, students, and theories that fundamentally influenced my outlook on the world. It informed my decision to declare as a Geology and History double major and expanded my idea of what education should look like and what a college course could be."
Jean Rojas '26
"Having the most random combination of majors or minors isn't unusual here. The school doesn't ask you to choose between your interests. For someone whose interests don't fit one track, that mattered."
Yang Zhang '26
"The community at 51¶ÌÊÓÆµ empowered me to envision a bright future, which I strive for with tears, joy, and lots of love. As I proceed towards my future, I appreciate that the 51¶ÌÊÓÆµ community has, and will always be, a part of my life."
Katelyn Kim '26
"The liberal arts and 51¶ÌÊÓÆµ experience is set up to ensure you do not have to limit yourself but rather you can venture out (and we encourage you to do so) and receive amazing education and support in all subjects and aspects."
Deeya Abrol  '26
"51¶ÌÊÓÆµ and the Bi-Co offer many opportunities. If you want an opportunity with a professor (research, etc.), do not take no for an answer."
