Meet our Outstanding Graduates

Meet Lilly Boone

'25, B.S. in Biology with minors in Chemistry and Legal Specialities

"My freshman year was a major adjustment, the weather was much colder than I was used to, and I was still finding my way as an adult. However, I was determined to embrace the opportunities provided by UToledo which proved to be a fantastic decision."

Meet Chloe Villa

'25, B.S. in Biochemistry

"Growing up in Toledo, I always knew that I'd be coming to UToledo for college. While I wasn't quite sure what to expect initially, I am now so thankful for all the experiences that I've had here. One of the most meaningful opportunities that I've had is the chance to get involved in undergraduate research."

Meet Milo Eckhardt

'25, B.S. in Physics

"... a huge part of my degree here has been spent on research, spanning four semesters and two NSF REUs at UToledo. And so, I'd like to say thank you to Dr. Rupali Chandar and Dr. Richard Irving, specifically, for helping me to make the most of my academics and research here. Due in no small part to them, I am proud to announce that I'll be attending Louisiana State University in the fall to begin my Ph.D. in Medical Physics."

Meet Emma Heslop

'25, B.A. in Environmental Studies with a minor in Women's and Gender Studies

"I'm truly grateful for the faculty, staff, peers and mentors that I've had the privilege of working with. It is because of them that I feel supported in taking the next step as I start law school this fall at the University of Minnesota, and I'm incredibly grateful for the lessons and experiences that I get to take from my UToledo experience with me."

Meet Joshua Noonan

'25, B.S. in Mathematics

"While attending UToledo, I became a mathematics tutor in the Learning Enhancement Center and it has been nothing but an amazing experience. My time here at UToledo has shown me the joys of helping others through their classes and working together with them to complete complex mathematics problems."
