Daytona Doherty ’26

Hi, I’m Daytona. I’m a junior at Colgate University, double majoring in psychology and biology. I’m passionate about research and aspire to become a researcher and professor. I’ve had the opportunity to work in several fun labs, and I’m always excited to dive into new projects. Whether you’re looking for someone to brainstorm ideas with, help analyze data, or offer feedback on a project, I’d love to collaborate. Although LA is my true home, I love the Colgate community and enjoy being involved in COVE projects or hanging out with friends. My goal is to support and learn from as many people as I can while I’m here, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you’d like to work together!

Noah Rose ’27

Hello! I am currently a sophomore dual majoring in history and philosophy. My aspiring career is concentrated in the legal field, as I have a keen interest in critical thinking, an aptitude for public speaking, and an avid inclination for advocacy and ethical integrity. My many intellectual enjoyments include research, opinionated writing, and verbal commentary, of which I immerse myself at Colgate through their Pre-Law Society, Model United Nations, Debate Society, and Colgate Maroon-News. Furthermore, I enjoy self-publishing my own various articles across the platform Medium, in order for my work to reach a broader audience. In addition, embracing cultural diversity and global perspectives remains key in my learning, illustrated by my motivation to advance my proficiency in Mandarin throughout my undergraduate education, as well as my enthusiastic desire to stay connected with my Jewish upbringing through my involvement in the university’s Jewish Union and the local Chabad of Hamilton. Aside from academics, I am a jazz and soul music enthusiast, sports fanatic, food connoisseur, numismatist, and timepiece aficionado. Moreover, I hold great enjoyment in playing the tenor saxophone, freshwater fishing, watching iconic movies, and reading science fiction novels. I look forward to helping my peers with their research journeys!
