教师 mentors
“The faculty at Carthage have helped me find opportunities I didn’t know were available. Having a good relationship 与 your professors will only benefit you. I have gotten involved in 研究 just by reaching out to see if there were openings. Your professors want you to succeed 和 are always willing to help if you ask.”
Favorite class
“My favorite class has been Neuroscience Research Methods. For the lab, we are involved in the rat lab 和 get to help run experiments. We also work 与 brain tissue, which I thought was super cool!”
