In Oct. 2023 William Ugorji, a science major and pre-nursing student, began working in Schoolcraft’s labs. His main focus for his science major is biology with the goal of either becoming a physician’s assistant or a physician. Ugorji will be doing Nursing in between while earning his degree at a four year university. Working in the labs is a fantastic segway for Urgoji to gain experience to become a research assistant. It is common for many science majors to work as lab technicians to gain familiarity with the ins and outs. Working in the lab, there are many typical tasks Ugorji does such as cleaning the lab, setting up equipment for screen study or even disposing of hazardous waste chemicals. 

Ugorji enjoys his job but what makes it most enjoyable is the people that he works with and those who mentor him. Johanna Griest, manager of lab sciences is always offering guidance for his career in science and biology. Ugorji is very thankful for his other mentors; Tammy Duval and Jordan Rippy both are Schoolcraft lab technicians. He is very thankful for Professor Melissa Gury, his previous biology professor, who helped him get this position. There is no wonder why Ugorji earned Student of the month with his dedication to his studies and working hard in Schoolcraft’s lab. He is definitely a student others can look up to.
