 Aaron ('07) is a Chemistry: Cell/Molecular/Biochem Concentration Major, but has definitely enjoyed his minor in STS. Aaron firmly believes that STS will help him in his goals of being a researcher. He has enjoyed classes such as like Biomedical and Environmental Ethics, as well as being able to pursue research interests like the political nature of video games in today's society. Aaron has been on Colby Woodsmen, Colby Emergency Response and most days he can be found in various science labs or backstage at Runnals theater. In his spare time, Aaron enjoys relaxing in his apartment with his wife, their beagle and cat, a good book or a good video game. Aaron is currently bewildered by the US legislature's attempts to systematically dismantle the ESRB, the video game industry's self-regulating body. Top
