This week we are excited to highlight Courtney Dickens C’27 who is completing the Nathan Schnaper Intern Program in Translational Cancer Research at the University of Maryland School of Medicine! 🌟💡
Courtney is grateful for her coaches, professors, and mentors and explains 📣
“The tight knit community at the Mount has provided me with guidance from upperclassmen and has allowed me to build close relationships with peers inside and outside of the classroom. I know that the bonds I have built here will stay with me even after I have graduated! Additionally, the experiences I have gained throughout my undergraduate research in the Lombardi lab have prepared me for opportunities like this one and I am extremely excited to represent myself as a student from Mount St. Mary’s this summer!”
On campus, Courtney is the captain of the women’s D1 cross country and track and field team, Secretary of ASBMB (American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology), Secretary of Health Professions, Member of Lombardi Research Lab, Tri Beta Biology Honors Society, and Gamma Sigma Epsilon Chemistry Honors Society. 🗻
