Aarushi Rao had a busy summer. It was spent in large part on developing a new research tool at VCU to help them analyze experimental data more efficiently.

That’s pretty impressive and exactly the type of experience that students in our Honors Summer Undergraduate Research Program gain!

🥼 🧫 Melody Ngo spent her summer in a research lab through the Honors Summer Undergraduate Research Program! 🧪🔬

During the eight weeks Melody worked in the lab, she truly got a feel for what it is like to work day in and day out in a
lab setting.

🗣️”HSURP really helped me see what a university research lab is like. You learn a lot about methodologies in research lecture classes on campus, but it’s a completely different experience to be able to do them with your own hands and understand how it works and why it works. It’s really enlightening.”

"You can't let your fear of failure get in your way. Your journey is fueled by your faith in yourself and supported by your friends and your family."

Also, it wouldn’t be a graduation without our ™️ Dean Selfie. Congrats again to all of our graduates and to all those graduating this weekend from 🖤💛🐏

Harrish Ganesh is graduating from Honors this spring. He’s done a lot while here and at VCU and one thing has guided his efforts: Good karma comes back to you.

🗣️”At VCU, the number one thing that I learned was that I loved — and the good karma I wanted to help spread – was education. I see and work with so many different types of patients and students because of Richmond, and it has really shown me the importance of access to education and health care.”

That dedication has paid off. After he graudates, Harrish is headed to for medical school!
