🎓 Meet Our Graduates 🎓
“I think people heal others where they themselves hurt,” says Morgan Andrews, a chemistry major who graduated last week. Andrews’ desire now is to become a physician scientist. “My interest in medicine started when I was diagnosed at the age of 11 with a spinal disorder called idiopathic scoliosis."
🔬
Andrews wants to be both a physician and researcher. Her love of research was discovered when she worked in the biochemistry lab of RIC Professor Jamie Towle-Weicksel. “I can’t thank Dr. Towle-Weicksel enough for the four years of teaching, training and support she gave me. I now know that not only do I want to treat patients, I want to work in a lab on innovative therapeutics for patients,” she says.

During her gap year, Andrews will continue her research at RIC while earning her EMT certification. Link in bio to read her story.
