Hi everyone! My name is Aitana and I'm a first year Physiological Science major who is from sunny San Diego, but has roots going back to Spain (and finally going back during study abroad)! As a College Scholar, I seek to further promote a collaborative environment, but now through mentorship as a Fellow. Tell me all about your experience with navigating UCLA during your STEM journey, your interest in communities facing health disparities, or even less academic topics like the best places to visit in LA :)

Graciana Paxton |
I’m a third year Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology major with a Biomedical Research minor from Long Beach, CA. This is my first year as an honors fellow and one of my reasons to join was to make the honors program feel more like a community that it did during COVID-19 restrictions. I absolutely love succulents and houseplants so I have them all over my dorm and my house, and I just joined the Long Lab at UCLA which studies plants as well!!

My name is Marola Hanna and I am a third-year psychology major. I am a Coptic Egyptian and I love going out with my friends to try a bunch of new foods. I also like to color while listening to music because it helps me relax and clear my head. I joined Honors Fellows so that I can help come up with more ideas of how to help honors students by providing them with all the resources they need in advance so that they can then make the personalized plans they need to succeed.
