NICOLE COUTURIER RECOGNIZED AS AN ACADEMICALLY TALENTED TRANSFER STUDENT

Baltimore, Md., April 25, 2018

Every year, UMBC recognizes two exceptional “Academically Talented Transfer Students” to speak to prospective transfer students in order to showcase some of our most academically successful, and well-rounded students. This year, UMBC chose Nicole Couturier, a senior, as one of the students to share her personal journey.

Nicole Couturier transferred to UMBC in the 2015-2016 academic school year while pursuing a chemical engineering degree and balancing her involvement in several student life organizations, including the Society of Professional Hispanic Engineers, the Hispanic/Latino Student Union, the Global Brigades, and the Women’s Club Volleyball Team. By involving herself in many different activities, Couturier felt that she was better able to balance out her busy schedule and feel a sense of community and belonging, unlike the age-old cliché of choosing either academic success or social success.

Couturier credits some of her success to the MARC U*STAR (Maximizing Access to Research Careers Undergraduate Student Training in Academic Research) program offered at UMBC, noting that “it provided her with the chance to conduct research in a field she is passionate about and has been a great guide towards her future aspirations”. She has been able to work in many impressive areas, including the UMBC immunology lab under Dr. Gregory Szeto, with a biomedical engineering team at Cornell, and she is planning to pursue a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering after graduation.

Some other student life activities that Couturier took part in included involvement in a service project trip to Nicaragua with the Global Brigades, and traveling to Nationals for three consecutive years with the Women’s Club Volleyball team.

The UMBC Club Sports Program is very proud of Nicole’s accomplishments and we look forward to seeing what the future holds for her.

There is nothing to show at this time.
