GRADUATION |
President: Danielle Bert: "I am a senior here at Chico State. I started college at Butte Community College at the same time as our secretary, Laurel did. When I am not studying, I am working at Office Depot. I am planning to graduate someday with a degree in Microbiology. I love reading about science-fact and science-fiction for fun."
Vice President: Jared Stockwell: "I am a junior here at Chico State and am majoring in
Microbiology. If all goes well, I will be graduating in the spring of
2010, at which point, I am planning on going to pharmacy school. The
microbiology club is a great way to meet students and faculty outside
of class."
Secretary: Laurel Hammang: "I'm a junior here and transferred from Butte. I am
studying Cell and Molecular Biology and hoping for a minor in
chemistry. Eventually, I'd like to work in a lab or for a biotech
company in research and development."
Treasurer: Seth Jones: "I am a senior at Chico State, and
will be graduating spring of 2010. I am currently involved in the
microbiology club as the treasurer and in the Pre-Dental club as the
secretary. I am planning on attending UOP Dental School upon
graduation. My hobbies are bike riding, motorcycling, and hiking."
