Students + Faculty in Conversation

Lauryn & Drew (Biology)

When Lauryn Dunn first came to Sarah Lawrence, she planned to focus on history, but a lecture course with Drew Cressman revealed in her a surprisingly deep interest in biology. In this episode of SLC Transcript Review, Lauryn and Drew discuss pop quizzes, building confidence, conference projects, and summer research opportunities. Lauryn is the 2025 recipient of the Ian Lipkin ’74 Science Prize at SLC.
