DAPHNE OCHOA HERNANDEZ Hometown: Norwalk, CT College: College of Arts & Sciences Major: Psychology What aspirations do you have for your Lehigh career and beyond? How has Lehigh impacted and/or reinforced those aspirations? With academics, I am very interested in organic chemistry, genetics, psychology, and public health. Being a pre-med student, I hope to not only get good grades in these classes, but I am looking forward to learning the information and skills that will help me in my future. My goal at Lehigh is to get more involved in student life and gain research experience that will help prepare me for life after graduation. After graduation, I am planning on either going to physician assistant school or medical school. I know I want to work in pediatrics in the medical field, and I think that Lehigh will allow me to explore my options and guide me to make a good choice. I am majoring in psychology, and I have always wanted to work side by side with a professor on research; I knew Lehigh University was a place that would allow me to accomplish that. Whether in the spring semester or next year, I am looking forward to getting more involved with research. Lehigh University Student Scholars Institute (LUSSI) has been a program that has helped me navigate the transition from high school to college, and I am very grateful for it. A message from Daphne: Thank you so much for all your help and support. I appreciate it very much. I would not be at Lehigh University without the amazing support I have received. Everything I am doing here at Lehigh and am planning to accomplish is possible due to the financial help I have received. I really would not have been able to come to a school like Lehigh without the financial aid I have been receiving. I feel like not only is your support helping me right now, but it is also contributing to my future aspirations. I am very grateful to be here at Lehigh and to be able to graduate with many doors open to succeed in life after Lehigh.
