Hi everyone my name is Mercedes and I am majoring in Neuroscience at IU Northwest and so this year i had an opportunity to be a part of the lsamp program  so lsamp is a research program on campus  that works to support  underrepresented students in the stem fields my mentor was Dr. Rutherford  she is both a professor and a researcher from the psychology department our research focus this year was to look at how early life exposure to certain substances could potentially affect our stress response pathway and for that we use zebrafish embryos Anthony Garcia he is also an lsam scholar this year and he worked with Dr. Wang from the Computer Information Systems department and both of us had a research conference a few weeks ago and we ended up winning in our own  divisions which was fantastic and I think both of us did not anticipate to have a  research internship during a pandemic but I think this just goes to show how dedicated and committed IU is to supporting students’ needs as well as their career goals and I know Anthony and I were both very thankful for that.

2020 has been a crazy time for everyone, however at IU Northwest I just want to thank all of my professors for being so giving with their time; the endless zoom calls and emails back and forth. As a Senior year business student this year is extremely crucial for me and I don’t have enough good things to say about how my professors have been handling everything. It’s a very stressful time for everybody but they have not only been very accommodating of my schedule but of my different groups schedule at I just don’t have enough good things to say about all the business professors at IU Northwest.

Hi IUN my name is Paige and I’m a freshman biology major and I just wanted to talk today about the difference of online school from my senior year perspective to collage. So for my senior year obviously only like the second half-ish was online and most or my teacher’s were pretty lenient with our homework, we still had homework and everything but it was a lighter load than college is right now. College being on line, sometimes you have to take it upon yourself if its an all online class to actually learn the material and comprehend what’s going on, some are all zooms and assignment and some were actually in person for me. My online classes we definitely the hardest because you have to have the time management to teach yourself and just really under stand what is going on. It’s really up to you how much you understand with those. Zooms, as long as you attend them, in my opinion, you are ok and doing the assignments was fine. Most of the teachers were super super super good and gave extra help whenever I needed it. Overall it hasn’t been too bad, its been stressful but definitely manageable so if you are in the same boat as me I urge you to keep pushing. Hopefully it will get better and yeah!
