Student Stories
Elliott Gere - Class 2024
Biotechnology Engineer at IntelliSource. I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new internship at the Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics at the University of Vermont! I'm thrilled to take this next step in my genetics career. A special thanks to Dr. Rebecca Guy for helping me make it happen!
Julius Herzog - Class 2024
Post-baccalaureate Fellow at National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) - Breaking free of the course curriculum with the tools it gave me and teaching myself the skills I wanted to learn directly. I learned a useful skill and found somewhere at the university to apply it. Thank you!

Hailey Rosenfield - Class 2024
Cell Biology - Research Design - Growing into a better version of myself while simultaneously excelling in most of my classes. Thank you for a great four years! I have recently begun in the Masters of Neuroscience program at the University of Helsinki.
Konnor Yunghans - Class 2024
Research Associate at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard - My most significant accomplishment was garnering the courage to travel all the way from Vermont to New Zealand for a semester, where I learned how to live in an unfamiliar country, as well as take in new cultures and perspectives to help shape my future career interests. I could not have done that without the support of the MMG department and UVM, who gave me the tools to have that once in a lifetime experience.
