No need to start the day too early. Great dissection of Milton this morning in our Literature of Sin class discussion.
Naomi O.
Sophomore, BS in Biochemistry (Pre-Med)
Growing up in Ghana, Naomi was drawn to the health sector. She envisioned herself as a surgeon and teacher. The challenge was a lack of role models. “We had arts kids and we had science kids,” she says, “but there weren’t a lot of professional women in STEM fields.” Not a problem at WPI. Naomi’s found mentors and role models in research labs and professional seminars. And she loves how WPI’s project-based curriculum fits her learning style. “Almost everything includes team-based problem solving—just like the real world. Very few undergrads outside of WPI get to work this way every day.”
