Portrait of Olivia Collins '24 Bioengineering (major), Honors, 4+1, teacher's assistant (internship)

" . . . pursuing this project has given me hope that the research I’m doing has the potential to revolutionize early cancer diagnostics, so no little girl will have to grow up without a mother at the hands of cancer like I did."
Olivia Collins, Bioengineering

Inspired by the memory of her mother, Honors student and ACCOMPLISH scholar Olivia Collins is working on a method to detect early ovarian cancer in a single drop of blood.

Learn more about how Olivia made this happen with the support of her professors.

I started out not knowing if I could do this, and now I'm going for my master's degree. It really shows what can happen when you believe in yourself and have a good community behind you.
Clivens Joseph, Electrical engineering

First-generation student Clivens Jospeh began his college journey in UMass Dartmouth's College Now program. Having immersed himself in research, Clivens is on his way to a master's degree through the 4+1 program.
