Like the rest of the undergraduate Class of 2024, Erin Thomas will receive her bachelor’s degree from Rensselaer on May 18. Thomas, a biological neuroscience major, has chosen to attend a post-baccalaureate program at the National Institutes of Health before applying to graduate programs in neuroscience. It was the combination of a rigorous, wide-ranging curriculum and the opportunity to do advanced research that drew her to RPI in the first place.
