“ The myriad research opportunities help flesh out a résumé, and the stress on realworld application gets students job-ready...” —Princeton Review real-world success 12 Ben McDonald
UNC Asheville alumni turn real-world learning into real-life achievement. Ben McDonald ’12: As a senior, Ben conducted experiments with combretastatin, a cancer drug that prevents bloodflow to tumors. Though he worked with the guidance of his professors, Ben was given enough creative room to be the planner, architect and builder of all his experiments. This year, he starts pursuing his Ph.D. in chemistry at Northwestern University. Caroline Dougherty Caroline Dougherty ’10: As a New Media major and Literature minor, Caroline learned how to tell a story both visually and textually. Today, she serves as science information designer for the National Environmental Modeling and Analysis Center. She works with the U.S. Forest Service, NASA, National Climatic Data Center and other organizations to ensure scientists’ findings are not just heard, but understood by the general public. Ricky Shriner ’12: Locus Technologies hired Ricky as a software engineer right after graduation. As a student, he helped the city of Asheville on a project to show how 100-year floods might affect the River Arts District. Ricky used video game software to combine survey data, flood data and GoogleEarth imagery to demonstrate how riverside businesses will be affected when the water rises. Ricky Shriner Tanya Harris ’06: When she arrived at UNC Asheville, Tanya knew that she wanted to be a lawyer, but she had no idea what kind of law to pursue.
