In addition to the benefits of writing the thesis, the Departmental Honors Program was a great opportunity for me to take charge in my research endeavors and propose my own project within my undergraduate lab. Together, these aspects provided an invaluable experience that undoubtedly helped prepare me for graduate study this fall. Overall, I enjoyed having the opportunity to expand that boundary between my classroom work and my research experiences here at Pitt and I would highly recommend this program for anyone seriously interested in a career in scientific research. I really enjoyed the Honors Program and the molecular biology major and am truly indebted to the fantastic faculty and staff at Pitt and particularly the Department of Biological Sciences for making that experience what it was for me. I am beginning graduate study in the fall here at Pitt in the Interdisciplinary Biomedical Graduate Program.
