Pioneer PROfiles - Marina Miketish
“I am into math and science, so I like problem solving. I like that the labs are hands-on, which give me the chance to fully understand what is being taught. The labs really go with the lectures. You are learning something and then you are learning it again in a way that will be useful outside of college.”Marina Miketish

Pioneer PROfiles - Joshua Czerniak
