“Her speech was phenomenal. Short and to the point. She connected with students who might have imposter syndrome, and said her office is open if anyone needs help on their neurobiology homework.”
- Kaci Turpin, a program specialist with First Year Experience, on Quiñones (who is a neurobiologist) talking to freshmen at the Welcome BBQ.
