MEET ONE OF OUR STEM MAJORS
Doing research so early on in my college career solidified that I want to work in a lab environment. Having that experience was what allowed me to get my internship at the company that I now work at full time. Working in an R&D lab, in addition to technical knowledge, requires multi-tasking, time management, collaborating with others and more.
I learned all of these things in labs while I was at Otterbein. It made moving into a professional lab environment less intimidating. Otterbein has many opportunities for students to get involved and I believe it makes them stand apart from others.
