The science of success isn’t an exact formula. Yet, Andrè Herrera Charpentier figured it out. After earning his bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Northeastern in May, Herrera Charpentier is now preparing to begin a Ph.D. program in Behavioral Neuroscience on a full scholarship at Michigan State University in the fall. Though he comes across as kind of shy, Herrera Charpentier can’t contain his enthusiasm when he talks about science. “I always wanted to do something with medicine, something with science,” said Herrera Charpentier, who minored in Biology and Chemistry at Northeastern. “I’ve had that in me since I was young.” Read more about Herrera Charpentier’s journey.
