Carissa Moore, Class of 2021, Environmental Science major, Chemistry minor

"I chose Rider University knowing I’d find amazing opportunities. I’ve spent three years in Rider’s research labs studying with Dr. Druckenbrod and Dr. Stratton. I am also a part of the esteemed Ronald E. McNair Scholars program. With the guidance of those mentioned, I was accepted to a full summer research experience for undergraduates at Cary Institutes."
