ShaRon Pierre - As a PhD. student of Biology, I researched
the relationship between neuroinflammation
I have had the opportunity to visit other
institutions in order to learn techniques
and/ or procedures necessary to substantsubstantiate
my research topic.
Studying in New York gave me access to
a vast network of institutions that could
assist me in my work. Nevertheless, as a research student, we
are not limited to the local resources of study. Studying in

Nancy Medina - To be a good teacher, one must also be a
good student. Nancy Medina is not only the Coordinator of the
Bridge to Teaching program, she is
also a student in the program. This
duality, as program planner as well
as participant, has allowed Ms. Medina
to gain intimate knowledge and
to share in the experiences of the
students she recruits and incorporates
in the Bridge to Teaching. Moreover, Ms. Medina is a doctoral
student in Chemistry at the Graduate Center of CUNY.
Olusegun Goyea - A good mentor can help students avoid
turbulence during their academic careers,
however in the case of Bridge to the
Doctorate scholar Olusegun Goyea, his
mentor is bringing him face-to-face with
turbulence. Working with Dr. Charles B.
Watkins has allowed him exposure to
researching the interactions of shockexpansion
waves with vortices in turbulent
airflows.

Adriana Vela - Understanding the mechanisms that drive
chemical and physiological reactions in living organisms is
essential to research and is one of the
reasons Adriana Vela, a Bridge to the
Doctorate Scholar, has decided to pursue
Chemistry. Adriana received her
B.S. degree in Chemistry and a minor
in Mathematics from the Honors Program
at the College of Staten Island
(CSI) in 2005. Currently, she is pursuing
her Mas. An
avid researcher since 2003, she has participated in several research
projects one of which was centered on the biopatterning
of nanoparticles. Her current research project involving
proteins and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is
performed under the guidance of Dr. Ruth E. Stark, Professor
of Chemistry at CSI. This research group is comprised of both
graduate and undergraduate students majoring in Chemistry
and Biology.
Frantz Voltaire, a Mathematical Education graduate student
and Bridge to Teaching scholar at
Brooklyn College, has made solving
prob
math professor, Dr. Umesh Nagarkatte of
Medgar Evers College, who helped me
to discover my passion for solving problems
as an undergrad
considered my teachers as heroes, since they were instrumental
in the success of so many people, and I realized I would
like to make that kind of difference in the lives of others.
Jose Perez - To some, science is complicated, abstract and
often meaningless jargon unless there
is some understandable benefit or tan-
-
Perez, a Bridge to the Doctorate researcher,
knows this reality all too
well. He is researching linear programming
with Professor Akira Kawaguchi,
an expert in database and
transaction processing systems, at City College.
