Rhashanda Haywood, MS.
Academic and/or Professional Experience: Fourth-year Doctoral Student at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore
HBCU Attended and Degree: I graduated from Johnson C. Smith University with a BS in Chemistry and North Carolina A&T State University with an MS in Chemistry
Why did you consider going to an HBCU/ teaching at an HBCU? I chose to attend an HBCU because of my undergraduate institution’s overarching goal to retain students, by providing a positive atmosphere that was supportive of students from diverse backgrounds. The programs that were in place to create an environment of inclusivity made for a great college experience.
Any Extracurricular or Volunteer Activities: Currently, I serve as the vice-president of the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists, UMES Student Chapter. In this role, I’ve had the opportunity to help organize and host a virtual graduate student symposium on career development. My favorite volunteer activity was participating in a virtual outreach session to local community colleges, for recruiting potential students to the UMES Pharmaceutical Sciences doctoral program.
Are you a member of CSW? Yes, for two years.
