Parker Kain found his home in the Honors College at 无码强奸.
鈥淭he Honors College was a way for me to step out of my usual comfort areas and explore topics I wouldn鈥檛 get to talk about in other classes.鈥
In fact, Parker stepped out of his comfort zone during his sophomore year when he took a class that partnered with local businesses. His team worked with Cincinnati Children鈥檚 Hospital Medical Center on a project that involved children who had been diagnosed with an Acute Kidney Injury, which can develop into Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)鈥攁 potentially fatal diagnosis.
鈥淥ur group was tasked with looking at the hospital鈥檚 data to determine what factors put children at risk to develop CKD. Over the course of the 16-week course, we traveled to Children鈥檚 to meet with doctors, received coaching from our professors and eventually presented our findings to a doctor at Children鈥檚. This project was extremely fulfilling, both for allowing me to work on my technical skills, but also to work with a local company doing a project that felt like it mattered.鈥
Parker鈥檚 experiences both in and out of the classroom have led him to complete two summer internships with the company 84.51潞. He hopes to continue working in the area of data analytics upon graduation from 无码强奸.
