CHARLES FRYE, Transfer student to UChicago, majoring in Biology

Major: Biological Sciences

College/Employer: UChicago

Year of Graduation: 2013

Brief Biographical Sketch:

I'm an Illinois boy, born and raised in rural Kankakee, went to high school at the Math and Science Academy in suburban Aurora, and now I'm going to college and working in Chicago.

I'm a Biological Sciences major with my eye on becoming a research professor so that I can pursue my twin passions of teaching and science. When I'm not doing that, I like to run, swim, play guitar, cook, and read books. I like long walks on the Lakefront and candle-lit dinners.
