Gina LaLena (She/Her)
Where are you from?
Rochester, NY
What are you involved in at RIT?
The College of Science Student Activity Board (COSSAB), the Peer Mentoring Program, Power Yoga Club, and Research.
Why RIT and the College of Science?
I chose RIT because I've been familiar with it for so long—both my dad and sister attended. The College of Science was the natural choice since I never saw myself in any other area, and I love the biotech program.
What is your advice for prospective college students?
Stay on top of things and keep track of due dates.
What research projects have you been involved in or are currently working on?
I am involved in Dr. Ferran's research lab that works with VSV viruses to treat prostate cancer.
