Make-up session: Hi I’m Claire
Ask Me Anything: - I’m a senior at UW-Madison, a T20 that recently was considered a “public ivy”. I study Molecular and Cell biology and Life Science Communication for my majors. I have lived in dorms and apartments, worked at on campus jobs, done research, joined clubs, and even studied abroad in Istanbul this past year. I’m happy to share anything with you that you may be wondering about the college experience. I look forward to seeing you all there!
