STUDENT STORY Nadia (they/them)

At UC San Diego, I’ve been able to do research on labor work and immigration and migrant health public health research through the Undergraduate Research Scholarship summer program. I also did the McNair Scholars Program, which is open to any students interested in pursuing a Ph.D. So that really motivated me to continue my research, and I’m currently conducting my own research independently doing my own study with my research mentor.
