Whitney is currently a chemical engineering major at Longwood University in Farmville, Virginia. She was honored as Longwood's "Outstanding Student in General Chemistry" for 2013-2014. Whitney shares in this article how, during her summers as an Explorer, trips to MITRE had an indelible impact on her course of study.
"So I thought back to what I was good at in high school, and that was chemistry," she remembers. "And I thought back to my experiences at MITRE, because I remembered liking everything I did there. The MITRE employees were doing things that were a mixture of science, math, and technology—so engineering seemed like a good way to incorporate everything that I liked." |
