LAURYN HOLGADO Hometown: Bala Cynwyd, PA College: P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science Major: Chemical Engineering What aspirations do you have for your Lehigh career and beyond? How has Lehigh impacted and/or reinforced those aspirations? On campus, through research, I learned not only how a lab runs, but also grew my knowledge in the field of antibiotic resistance, outer membrane vesicles, and how many subjects apply to chemical engineering. This is the reason I came to Lehigh. I want to be on the edge of scientific breakthroughs and do experiments that have never been done before. This past summer, I enhanced my career goals and path after graduation. I am now a member of the Eckardt Scholars Program in the College of Arts and Sciences. This allows me to have flexibility in my schedules, and I am able to pursue a dual degree in chemical engineering and chemistry. My advisors and mentors at Lehigh helped me to create a plan to achieve everything I want to do within the four years I am here. My professors encourage me to do my best and give me every opportunity to succeed. I am excited to work with my two new advisors for the Eckardt Scholars Program and for my second B.S. degree in chemistry. After graduation, I hope to attend graduate school and earn my Ph.D. There are so many faculty members at Lehigh to guide me through this process. I am thrilled at the opportunities I have at Lehigh and beyond. A message from Lauryn: Thank you for supporting my educational journey. I am grateful for your generosity and belief in the students of Lehigh. I want you to know that I do not go to classes just to complete assignments and receive high marks, but to build a foundation of knowledge that I can use in the future to change the world. I value my education, and knowing there are people like you who support students like me gives me even more motivation to do more, learn more, and experience more while I am here. Without your generosity, I would not be here to experience the wonderful people, opportunities, and knowledge Lehigh has to offer. I cannot even begin to express how grateful I am for your help. Thank you. Honors and Involvement: Dean’s List, Eckardt Scholar, Research (Brown Lab), Eco-Rep One thing on my Lehigh bucket list: Graduate cum laude.
