π Rounding out National Transfer Student Week with our last student feature! Meet Yihang Sun, a Bioengineering student concentrating in Cellular Engineering who transferred from the Community College of Philadelphia to Temple Engineering. π¦
Yihang chose Temple because of its diversity and R1 designation, eager to get involved with research. With support from a peer mentor, he landed an opportunity in a cancer research lab!
Knowing how it feels to come into a new place, being a transfer student has inspired Yihang to foster a supportive environment whenever he can. Through, helping classmates with assignments and giving peers compliments during group projects, he wants to help people feel connected.
Yihang advises future transfer students to connect with an advisor early and explore opportunities across Temple to build an academic path that reflects your interests.
