I am an international student from the Philippines, and I study Behavioral Neuroscience and Chemistry at Quinnipiac. I spend a lot of time in the lab studying rodent and fly models of behavioral/psychological disorders, and if I'm not there I'm usually giving all my attention to my cats! I also really enjoy sketching, painting, and mindlessly playing Animal Crossing. Navigating Higher Ed. was tough, especially coming from a small town on the other side of the earth, but don't be afraid to reach out to the QUADS crew!

Alex Pacrin

I'm Connor, a Senior Civil Engineering Major with a Math Minor. I grew up in Central Jersey [it does exist] and transferred to QU in Spring 2020. I'm a part of QUADS because I almost did not go to college. When I was younger, I did not have any teachers tell me I could get a degree in STEM. I never saw any BIPOC in a STEM field until I was apart of this program that introduced me to Black and Latin engineers. It inspired me to become an engineer. Without their support and representation, I would not be on the path to be an engineer. I'm hoping that I can help another young BIPOC believe in themselves.
