She will graduate from the School of Arts and Sciences with a double major in political science and German studies.
Raised under the principles of Jainism, Harshita Jain wanted the ancient Indian religion to be integral to her college experience. When she arrived at Rutgers–New Brunswick in 2018, the Honors College senior found a strong Jain community.

Samantha Eng’s call to pursue a career in medicine and help heal physical and emotional pain grew out of her experience in preschool accompanying her mother for medical treatment in her quest to have another child.
In the doctor’s office, Eng observed many medical procedures, including injections, blood draws, and scans. "Instead of looking away during these procedures, I stared, fascinated. The staff were kind and explained what was happening with each test."
But there was something else about the experience that shaped the way Eng thinks about medicine.
