UC student combines cosmetic research and healthcare advocacy

Nguyen serves as president of the UC chapter of the Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers.  A primary goal of the group is to “prepare Asian heritage scientists and engineers for success in the global business world.”

For Nguyen, the best part about working with the student chapter is connecting with others who have the same goals and sharing a common cultural connection. The inclusion of both engineers and scientists in the group has been fulfilling. The student chapter continues to find ways to highlight both the engineering and science facets of the organization.

Nguyen and other members recently connected with fellow members at its regional conference in February at the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute, Indiana.

Nguyen's favorite part about UC is meeting people and getting involved. She is a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority and has been very involved in service and philanthropy activities such as Reading is Fundamental, a children’s literacy program. She is also active in the UC Vietnamese Student Association, whose members raise cultural awareness for and about Vietnamese students.

The Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers holds biweekly meetings on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Anyone interested in connecting with UC SASE is invited to email Nguyen.
