Hi my name is Milan Sengthep, I'm majoring
in biology with an emphasis in marine biology
and minoring in chemistry.
I know that the ocean isn't as explored as
much and we know more about space than our
own planet, so I thought "oh, well why don't
we know more about our oceans?
Maybe I could contribute to that amazing field."
That's why I'm here!
The amazing resources here at Oregon State
University have really excelled my passions
and wanting to get more involved with all
the people and all the amazing professors
and grad students and my fellow undergrads
here.
I went to study abroad in Australia this past
summer-fall term and that was definitely one
of the highlights of my undergrad career here
so far.
Next term I'm going to Hatfield out in Newport
which is the marine bio option.
I am the secretary / acting president of the
Integrative Biology Club.
This club has really opened me to networking
with professors and grad students and getting
into research and volunteering, and that's
one of the reasons I came to Oregon State...
because there's so many research opportunities.
I knew that I wanted to get into volunteering.
For me, I like studying in study groups.
Open up and talk to your classmates because
they probably don't know what you don't know.
Or they know something you don't know and
you know something they don't know.
You can all collaborate and it's just a happy
ending.
You can get jobs on campus.
I want to inspire and motivate people like
freshman to do what I can do.
