Eliza Ray
Eliza Ray is a sophomore at Bucknell University from Indiana, Pennsylvania. She plans to major in Education with minors in Physics and Classics. Scientific research has always been a large part of her life, as she has participated in research projects in the fields of physics, chemistry, astronomy, and chemical engineering. She is currently working with Professor Ned Ladd to design an astronomy lab curriculum for students without a background in STEM fields.
In her career, she hopes to provide supportive mentorship for women and minorities in STEM on a larger scale. She would like to reanalyze the ways our educational system is structured in order to have higher retention of women and minorities in STEM. She plans to go onto graduate school and focus on her interests in education and social justice, using her research and critical thinking skills acquired from her Physics background in her future career as an educational researcher.
Outside of academics, Eliza is involved in Residential Education, works in the Office of Civic Engagement, and is president of Bucknell Advocates for Diversity, a new student initiative that seeks to make social and institutional change on campus.
