Majors: Biochemistry and Neuroscience

I came to CMU because I thought it was a beautiful campus with a lot of opportunities. My sister attended CMU a few years ago, and after listening to her experiences, I knew that I wanted to continue my education here. So far at CMU, I have joined the Pre-Medicine and Osteopathic Society, the Women's Club Softball Team, the Honors Health Service Society, and the Otago Fall Prevention Program. I am very grateful for these opportunities because I have met so many amazing people and have made so many friends. In the future, I hope to attend medical school and become an anesthesiologist. As a physician, I want to stay in Michigan and work in rural areas.

Grace Osiri

Majors: Data Science and Statistics

I've had many incredible experiences within my major and the College of Science and Engineering. This past summer, I had the privilege of interning as a Digital Product Management Intern at Rocket Mortgage, which was an amazing opportunity for networking and professional growth. I'm also the secretary for the Women in Technology chapter at CMU, a student organization focused on empowering women in tech-related fields.

I plan to pursue an accelerated master’s program at CMU, graduating with a bachelor's in Data Science and Statistics and a master’s in Applied Statistics.

Major: Astronomy

Minor: Mathematics

Coming from New Orleans, Louisiana, to Mount Pleasant, Michigan, was a significant change for me; however, CMU has provided numerous opportunities for my career path. The best part of being an astronomy major is the undergraduate research. The research experience I have gained has provided me with the insight and confidence needed to excel in this field.

In the future, I plan to attend graduate school or pursue a career in the field of nuclear physics.

Major: Meteorology

Minor(s): Environmental Analytics and Mathematics

CMU has given me many opportunities to grow and learn within my career focus over the last 2 years. This past summer, I traveled across the Great Plains as part of a national field research project studying hail and its damaging effects. I am excited to continue working with the data from this project and start my undergraduate research this year. Additionally, the student organizations I've joined relating to my major have allowed me to make strong friendships with my peers while simultaneously providing networking for internships and future job opportunities.  

After I graduate from CMU, I plan on attending graduate school to pursue more research in the field of Meteorology.

Christian Wang

Major: Computer Science

I chose CMU because growing up in Mt. Pleasant, I was inspired by the sense of community it offers. It felt like home long before I became a student. In addition to my work towards my major in Computer Science, I serve as the Vice President of the Crab Rangoon Club, and I was also a part of CMU’s esports program. In the future, I plan to be a software engineer on the West Coast, creating and working on projects that make a meaningful impact on people’s lives.
