Sam Morgan '27
Meteorology and Atmospheric Science
Sam Morgan came to 51Ƶ to study atmospheric science and meteorology. He expanded his education and professional network through experiences with two of the nation’s leading atmospheric sciences organizations.
I was looking for a school with a meteorology major that was close to both public transit and outdoor recreation.
Zachary McCann '23
Computer Science
Zachary McCann developed computer science skills while working in Prof. Fred Martin’s lab and as a peer leader for SoarCS.
Going to 51Ƶ was the right balance between good academics and getting the most bang for my buck.
Christian Burns '25
Physics
Physics Ph.D. student Christian Burns got accepted to the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science Graduate Student Research program.
The professors really do teach and motivate you to learn.
Caroline DeSouza '24
Biological Sciences, Economics
A research opportunity helped Caroline DeSouza see that marine biology was an attainable career.
It’s great to have a mentor who understands what it’s like to be a woman in biology.
