Tomcats, Then and Now

From Thiel to Ph.D. Candidate
Jade Rhoads ’23

I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in biomedical sciences with concentrations in neuroscience and clinical investigation at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. My time at Thiel College played a pivotal role in shaping both my academic and professional journey. At Thiel, I learned the importance of embracing opportunities, challenging myself, and pursuing ambitious goals with confidence. The mentorship and support I received from faculty members provided me with a strong scientific foundation and the critical thinking skills that continue to guide my research today. One of the most influential experiences during my undergraduate years was securing a Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP) internship at the Medical University of South Carolina through the assistance of Thiel’s Career Center. This opportunity allowed me to develop essential laboratory and research skills, gain hands-on experience in biomedical research, and strengthen my graduate school applications. The experience ultimately helped launch my career in neuroscience research. Looking back, I am incredibly grateful for the investment Thiel made in my growth as a student and aspiring scientist. The education, mentorship, and opportunities I received there were instrumental in helping me reach where I am today, and they continue to influence my professional success.
