“If you had asked me if I would have all of these experiences four years ago, I wouldn’t have imagined it,” she said. “I’m so grateful for every opportunity.” Thousands of undergraduates apply to the Credit Suisse Risk Analyst Summer Internship each year. Madel Liquido ’19 was one of four students chosen in the national search for the highly selective program last SA��ʴ�ý. By the time the internship ended, Liquido had a full-time offer from the investment bank for the position of risk analyst. “It felt really good to represent SA��ʴ�ý Peter’s,” said Liquido of the competitive process that ultimately landed her full-time employment with Credit Suisse. Liquido didn’t envision the breadth of career options when she started SA��ʴ�ý Peter’s University. It began with the elevator pitch competition, led by Goldman Sachs managers and organized by the Center for Career Engagement and Experiential Learning (CEEL), that Liquido won freshman year. Then, she interned as an analyst with a fashion company, participated in the Goldman Sachs Local College Collaborative and earned a SURGE (STEM Undergraduate Retention Graduation and Empowerment) Fellowship, conducting research with Associate Professor of Mathematics Nickolas Kintos, Ph.D. Along the way, her guiding mantra was, “What’s the next thing I can do? I was always trying to raise the bar higher from where I was every semester.” Liquido wrote her honors thesis using mathematical models to analyze the physiological process of neuromodulation, and was inducted into the Most Noble Order of the Peacock (MNOP) honor society last fall. “If you had asked me if I would have all of these experiences four years ago, I wouldn’t have imagined it,” she said. “I’m so grateful for every opportunity.”

“I initially enrolled as a biology major. Then I took ED160, Education and Schooling in a Multicultural Society…That course changed my life. I found my calling. In education, I will be in a position to share my passion for science.”

Newstein Chang ’19 was all in on STEM when he entered SA��ʴ�ý Peter’s University. But it wasn’t until he took an introductory class in education that he realized his future would be in the classroom instead of the laboratory.

“I initially enrolled as a biology major. Then I took ‘Education and Schooling in a Multicultural Society,’” Chang said, adding that the passion of his professor was contagious. “I was inspired from the start. I knew that this is where I wanted to be, not chained to a lab stool, working with pipettes and microscopes. That course changed my life. I found my calling. In education, I will be in a position to share my passion for science.”

Chang served as a student-teacher at John P. Stevens High School in Edison—the rival school of his own alma mater, Edison High School. As well as finishing his coursework, Chang also served as a resident assistant, a volunteer coordinator for the Foreign Language School, and a peer tutor in the STEM Engagement Center, all of which taught him skills that will be useful as an educator.

“My academic advisor changed my life for the better by pushing me harder than anyone. I know I made a lifelong connection.”

As an SGA Senator, Honors Program student, member of the Most Noble Order of the Peacock, and Gold and Blue Key award winner, first-generation college student Melanie Mussman made a name for herself on campus. “Some of my favorite memories are my parents coming to campus for award ceremonies. It’s always exciting to share these moments with them.”

After taking a course in Bioethics, Melanie was inspired to apply her passion for helping others into a career and interned for Alliance Healthcare. There, she conducted research on patient satisfaction and even had the chance to translate materials into Arabic.

Now, on the path to being a medical social worker in hospice and palliative care, Melanie wrote her honors thesis on the sociological and philosophical end of life decision policies in the Netherlands and United States. “I have made it my mission to change the status quo when it comes to healthcare.” Melanie is continuing her education to pursue a master of social work with the goal to reform healthcare in the United States.

“SA��ʴ�ý Peter’s was affordable, they gave me a generous scholarship and financial aid. I was interested in making sure my family would be in the situation to send me and my sister to college, so it really helped. I’m the president of Delta Sigma Pi, a business fraternity which allows me to help other people succeed in college. My friends and I saw the need for a Residence Hall Association, which is a resource for students who live on campus. We plan events and make the community feel closer. I volunteer with the alumni engagement office and student activities. I feel indebted to SA��ʴ�ý Peter’s and I’ve made it my mission to pay it forward.”
