Chemistry-Kinesiology major Megan Quattrone leaves footprints all over the field hockey and lacrosse fields — and hopes to leave her mark on a new cancer treatment that utilizes one of the new compounds she sythesized during summer research.
English major Jackie White discovered a new passion for Cinema to go with her lifelong love of the English language and literature. TV Production class is her best class ever — she learned how to run almost every position in a television news station as well as teamwork and adaptability.
Kinesiology and Spanish major Olivia Maenner's best class ever was Anatomy with Kinesiology professor David Petrie because the course reminded her of how much she loves learning about anatomy and gave her a great foundation which she took with her to Occupational Therapy graduate school.
Erik Yanisko went to the Peruvian Amazon as part of a Jan Term study abroad trip titled, “The Forest Online” with a group of 15 students who ventured deep into the Amazon to create a multimedia research project consisting of interviews with indigenous people who have communities in the region, and researchers who are living there doing various projects.
Angel Tuong '19 traveled all the way from Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam to study Mathematics, Economics and French at McDaniel.

Garrett Gregoire matter-of-factly points out that his student-faculty research project won’t cure cancer.

The newly renovated Gill Center bustles with activity. After all, this is the epicenter of McDaniel’s study of movement — the place Kinesiology students and faculty alike call home. Three classrooms, three labs, nine faculty offices and a seminar room were newly built inside Gill Center to support a program that prepares students for careers as health professionals, coaches, athletic trainers, physical education teachers, personal trainers and others whose work centers on the science of physical activity and movement.
Just days after her graduation this May, Riley Palmer sailed from Tahiti to Hawaii on board SEA Semester’s ocean research vessel, the 134-foot brigantine SSV Robert C. Seamans.
