\"Chris<\/a><\/p>\n

Chris Kustera (BA 2015) may have double-majored in BCMB (Biochemistry, Cell, and Molecular Biology), but he also found\u00a0a way to make the English department home. He not only earned a minor in English, but he was also one of the editors of Esprit<\/em>, our campus literary magazine.<\/p>\n

The good news for us is that Chris, for now at least, plans to stick around campus another year. In his own words:<\/p>\n

“I am currently planning on remaining at The University of Scranton as a Graduate Teaching Assistant in the Chemistry Department next year. This position includes a full-tuition scholarship for my masters degree in Biochemistry. I am currently on the waiting list for Jefferson\/Sidney Kimmel Medical College, and I may be in Philadelphia if I get of that wait list for the current matriculation year.”<\/p>\n

We wish Chris the best, and we’re glad to call him, at least partly, one of our own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
