Wrapping up Mel’s ✨Senior Spotlight✨, here is his farewell to the Biology Program! We hope nothing but the best for Mel! We will miss him! When we asked him for advice for upcoming students, he said, “always have fun and not be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. Talk to new people, join clubs, and take advantage of random side quests and opportunities that come your way. Those experiences can make college much more memorable. Most importantly, always keep in mind why you are here: to expand your knowledge, grow as a person, and earn your degree.”
