UHP Peer Mentor: Jessica Cade

Hey guys!!! I'm Jessica Cade. I'm a third year Biological Sciences Major on the Bioinformatics and Genomics track.  (That's a whole lot of complicated words meaning that I'm interested in Genetics)  I'm not entirely sure where I want to go with my degree, but most likely teaching or research.  This will be my second year as a Peer Mentor, and I can't wait to meet all of theincoming first years!  

As far as personal things, I love to shop, and there's nothing better than a good sale, especially a shoe sale.  I lived in the dorms my first year, so I have lots of tips for surviving dorm life.  Now I live in the Glen-Mor apartments and am pretty happy there.  I am the fundraising officer for theRiverside Chapter of Music Saves Lives.  It is an organization that runs blood drives and bone marrow registry drives.  We offer passes to Warped Tour and other music-related incentives. (We're always looking for help and are a great source for your community service hours) I will be working with the new Chancellor in the fall as a student assistant (one of the many opportunities that the Honors Program has provided me with!)

My parents say that I have a gift for learning a person's life story in ten minutes or less. You should introduce yourself because I'd love to get to know you!
