Combines Passion for Research with Community Service -
Maia Lopez, a senior chemistry major at Rider, is
just as comfortable conducting chemical research as she is
tutoring children at the Trenton After School Program. Both
activities allow her to share her passion for learning.
“I like analyzing the how and why of things,” said Lopez.
“I also love to encourage children to do the same whether
it is a reading assignment or activities related to math or
science. The discovery of new things is a very exciting process.”
