This past spring, my advisor informed me that I would be graduating in the coming year. Most graduate students would be ecstatic to hear this news, but I was nervous.

By Chris Lowe Kenilworth, NJ – On April 29, 2015 30 iJOBS participants from both Newark and New Brunswick campuses had the opportunity to tour Merck’s Kenilworth facility and learn from a panel of experts from many different walks throughout the company.

I’m not sure what everyone expected of the program, but my friends and I prepared mentally for 40 hours of unremitting lecture.
