Student Profile: Nizette Edwards
ACADEMICS
“Some of the most interesting classes I’ve taken here have been in the chemistry department. I work as a chemistry peer tutor, helping those who are struggling in their freshman chemistry classes.” Earned a certificate in materials science and in engineering and sustainable energy.
WHY
“When I applied to Princeton University, I knew that I wanted to be a chemical engineer. It’s fast-paced and exciting, and I like that I can apply my knowledge of the physical sciences and mathematics to create practical solutions to real-world problems.”
EXTRACURRICULAR
