    • App State alumna Christina Daly '13'16

      "I knew that getting my master's degree would inform my choice between medical school and further graduate work. App State in particular allowed me to be the senior lab member shortly after I began, so I was able to learn general lab maintenance and effective training techniques alongside running my own project."

      – Christina Daly, a Ph.D. student at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences
