A May 2022 graduate with a degree in biology—and one of Pomona College’s Commencement speakers as senior class president — Andreah Pierre has been interested in marine science and conservation for as long as she can remember. After earning a Posse Foundation scholarship followed by a prestigious summer fellowship, she will combine her STEM background with a rediscovered love of art to pursue a career as a scientific illustrator.
Another aspiring artist, Jacqueline Villa Rajerison, this fall, is enrolling in the same Scientific Illustration program at California State University, Monterey Bay.
