I am the youngest of three from a suburban town of New Jersey, and I am a Behavioral Neuroscience major with a Health, Medicine, and Society minor. I always had a passion for science and Lehigh has offered me the resources to pursue my interests, both in an out of the classroom. My college experience here has not only further ignited my passion for learning, but most of all it has awarded me unforgettable memories and life-long friends. 

 

Eckardt has been an amazing part of my college career. There is a certain degree of anxiety that most people feel when they start college, but the first Eckardt dinner during the beginning of the school year made me feel like I had a place at Lehigh. Not only did I feel comfortable with everyone in my cohort, but hearing advice from older students and listening to their experiences has guided me through my four years here. One of the best things about Eckardt is that everyone shares such a passion for learning, but we all have different hobbies and interests. I’ve met some of my closest friends through the program, and I don’t know if we would have crossed paths had we not been in Eckardt together. It’s incredible to think that my cohort will be graduating this year because it feels like not too long ago that we were all together in our freshman seminar together. However, I can truly say my Lehigh experience would not have been the same without Eckardt and I can’t wait to see the culmination of everyone’s hard work at the thesis presentation in May.
