Racquela Richard , ’ 11 Biology, Math Minor

“‘Now is the time to try new things and to take risks,’ this is what I told myself when I arrived at Bay Path College three years ago, and I’m glad I listened! The Bay Path community encourages you to pursue your dreams. Your opportunities are limitless, and the College gives you the confidence to conquer your fears—like field hockey—and achieve your goals.

My dream is to be a physician who cares for premature infants. Bay Path provides top-quality courses taught by highly regarded scientists and experts. Today, I’m applying my education to my National Science Foundation internship with Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Not only am I working with renowned researchers in the lab, but I get to share my passion for science with children as a counselor for the program’s Biodiscovery Camp. I will even have the opportunity to present my research findings on the therapeutic uses of cranberries at the National Biomedical Engineering Society Conference?

Without a doubt, Bay Path has prepared me for this internship and the future that lies ahead.”
