ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï

ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï biology major Nirmala Ghimirey grew up in a refugee camp in Nepal. Upon coming to the U.S. at age 14, she met her mentors, ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï State Professor Dr. Terry Kuhn and Mrs. Elizabeth Kuhn, who told her about the biology program at ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï. Graduating from Akron’s North High School at the top of her class, Nirmala is now a student in ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï State’s Honors College preparing to graduate in December of 2016. She has served as a tutor for both biology and chemistry and has earned numerous scholarships. Nirmala landed a competitive research internship at the Moffitt Cancer Research Center in Tampa, Fla. where she was applauded for accomplishing more in one summer than some graduate students do in a year. After graduation, Nirmala aims to continue her studies in medical school to earn both an M.D. and Ph. D.
