- HST Lab space as a whole, doing research for Angela Brown
- Pipette
Meaning Behind the Object: Of all the graduates featured, Jeffrey’s main item was the largest. As a chemical engineering major, her first item was the lab and the other is one that’s found in it, a pipette. Jeffrey said spending as much time as she has in the lab with Angela Brown, associate professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering, it’s incredibly meaningful to her and is a major reason she’s able to move on to her next step: earning her Ph.D. in chemical engineering from the University of Rhode Island.
The amount of time she spent in the lab, and the mentoring she received from Angela Brown, associate professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering, has set Taylor Jeffrey ’26 up to take her next step — earning a Ph.D. in chemical engineering from the University of Rhode Island.
