Through her research capstone, Riffe has discovered her passion for neuroscience. This fall, she plans to begin a Doctor of Philosophy in neuroscience and behavior.
“I’m looking forward to growing as a researcher and a student during my time in graduate school,” she said.
To Riffe, WVU offers welcoming atmosphere that helped her grow as a student while still providing the tools she needed to succeed.
“WVU has all of the resources of a large university,” she said. “However, I’ve always felt like I was valued as an individual and as a student here in a way that you wouldn’t expect at a massive university.”
