Laila Boujida, who will receive her bachelor of science degree in biology at Penn State Brandywine’s spring commencement ceremony on May 7, reflects on her time as a student at Brandywine.
Boujida: I chose Penn State Brandywine specifically because of the homey environment. The classroom sizes are small enough that when you raise your hand, the professor knows your name, and everyone gets to know each other and gets to grow with each other. Just in the biology department, we all kind of grew together and we're graduating in a couple weeks. It's been a fun journey. The family oriented environment is what I love.
Throughout my time here at Brandywine, I was involved with the Student Government Association. I've been pretty involved in that for two years now. It's really fun and exciting. It's nice to have input on how we can make things better. I'm also involved with the Chancellor's Commission on Empowering Women, which is really cool, too. I'm also the treasurer of the Sustainability Club and the Pre-Med Club.
