Honors Transfer Student Profiles
Jeremy Morales Madrigal
Jeremy Morales Madrigal was encouraged to participate in the Cañada College Honors Program by other members of the Phi Theta Kappa Honors Society and several of his academic advisors. What advice would he give other students considering the Honors Program?
“You are going to love the experience, just be ready to put in the effort,” he said.
Jeremy is a Chemical Engineering major, and was the only community college student selected in 2009 to participate in Stanford University’s prestigious Center on Polymer Interfaces and Macromolecular Assemblies Summer Undergraduate Research Experience.
While Jeremy is an accomplished student, he said the quality and quantity of work and the independent activities associated with the Cañada College Honors Program are challenging. “I enjoyed conducting my own experiments in the organic chemistry lab and teaching a section in my Calculus III class. Those were opportunities presented because I was an honors student at Cañada College.”
