SPENCER GRAY
HOMETOWN: Grand Rapids, Ohio
MAJOR: Molecular Biology; minor in Chemistry
WHY I CHOSE DC
I chose DC because I was interested in a small school that would offer more time with faculty and a more individualized approach to education, as well as scholarship opportunities.
WHAT MADE ME SUCCESSFUL
I believe I've been successful at Defiance because I have chosen to capitalize on all of the travel, leadership, and research opportunities presented by the College. These experiences have allowed me to stand out in my field as I pursue my career in research.
FUTURE PLANS
I am joining the Genome, Cell, and Developmental Biology Ph.D. program at Indiana University in Bloomington as a fully funded Ph.D. candidate. I hope to have a career in research in genetics.
