1. RORY MCMANUS Pennsylvania State University ’16 Biomedical Engineering

2. WHERE AM I FROM? Pittsburgh, PA born and raised. City of Bridges! I attended Fox Chapel Area High School… Home of the Fox Chapel Foxes!

3. INTENDED MAJOR Biomedical Engineering:  THE EXPLANATION: Biology is my true love, but I am not positive that I want to attend medical school upon graduating from college. Majoring in biomedical engineering allows me to broaden my career options. If I graduate with this major, I still have the option to attend medical school, but I have many other options such as earning my MBA or taking time off and starting a career.

4. FUTURE GOALS As of now, I am very uncertain of what I would like to do, as far as a career, following my graduation from Penn State. I am hoping that my time here will allow me to explore the countless aspects of my major in order to decide which career path I should take (the business aspect or the medical aspect). My ultimate goal is to get through grad school and obtain a biology-related career that I truly enjoy!
