Camille Rillstone is a 2026 graduate of the Medical Laboratory Science Program.

During her time at Marywood University she was inducted into the National Society of Leadership and Success, Delta Epsilon Sigma, and the Phi Sigma Iota Foreign Language Honor Society. She is currently completing her final year through an internship at Robert Packer Hospital as part of the Guthrie Medical Laboratory Science Program, where she has gained hands-on experience across numerous hospital laboratory departments.

Camille will graduate from Marywood University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology: Medical Laboratory Science, along with a minor in Spanish and a certificate from the Guthrie Robert Packer Medical Laboratory Science Program.

She has recently accepted a position at Geisinger CMC as an Anatomical Pathology/Medical Laboratory Scientist beginning this August. In this role, she will have the opportunity to work alongside the pathology team preparing slides during thyroid biopsies, assisting with frozen sections, participating in procedures within the Endoscopy Department, and eventually expanding into work within the operating room. She will also gain experience throughout multiple areas of the clinical laboratory, including hematology, microbiology, blood bank, and chemistry.

We are so proud of Camille and her many accomplishments!

Biology + chemistry = double the fun! 🧬⚗️

We had a great time at Riverside East Elementary exploring and discovering with Mrs. Donati’s 6th graders.

Huge thanks to Mrs. Donati and her students for such a fun and memorable day. Future biologists and chemists in the making! 🔬✨

We would like to congratulate one of our graduating students, CJ Shygelski, on his acceptance to Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine!

During his time at Marywood, CJ was a member of the science department with a major in Biology, as well as minors in Nutrition and Chemistry. In his freshman and sophomore years, he was a member of the Marywood Track and Field team, where he served as a captain in his sophomore year. Through his work in the classroom and on the track, he earned the 2024 Atlantic East Elite 20 Award, which is given to the athlete with the highest GPA who competes in a conference championship.

In addition to athletics, he also took on several leadership roles at Marywood. These roles include his involvement with groups such as the Marywood Activities Council, New Student Orientation, Marywood Dance Marathon, and Student Government Association. CJ was not only involved with Student Engagement, but also through the science department through his time here. Particularly, he was a member of the Biology and Chemistry club, where he helped host events with local elementary school children to spark an interest in STEM fields. For his efforts through these organizations, he will be awarded at graduation with the Dolores M. Ackourey Medal for Excellence in Leadership and Human Relations.

Through his time at Marywood, CJ was able to be exposed to the field of medicine through several hands on experiences. In 2024 he was given the opportunity to intern at Sanofi in the Continuous Improvement department. He was also able to gain clinical experience as a medical scribe in the ER at Geisinger CMC.

Through all the opportunities he had at Marywood, CJ was able to fulfill his goal of matriculating at his first choice medical school, Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine. To celebrate this, he will also be awarded during graduation with the Sister M. Sylvia Morgan, IHM Medal for Excellence in Pre-Medical Studies.

Congratulations CJ! 💚🩺💛
