Biology undergraduate, CSU
“I’m a freshman and started working in the ARC at the beginning of this summer. In just the last couple of months, I’ve made valuable connections with people from so many backgrounds and am continuing to learn something new every day. My favorite part about working in the lab is that there’s no limit to learning and exploring. When I have a question, there are always extremely knowledgeable people around who are happy to give me an explanation or a demonstration. The ARC is a congenial atmosphere to work in and a space where curiosity and questions are valued!”

“As ARC’s marketing intern, I am happy to be granted the opportunity to connect with researchers and scientists, which has opened my perspective beyond just marketing. I’ve collaborated on various projects, including flyer creation, researcher interviews, and monthly bulletins, all aimed at highlighting our work and engaging with the community. As a business major, this experience has deepened my understanding of science and the importance of networking. I’m excited to share these insights with others outside the scientific field!”
