HONORS COLLEGE STUDENT’S JOURNEY GOES FROM RESEARCH LAB TO ITALY
Portraits
Senior Abygail Deemer was introduced to the Honors College during her first campus tour in 2022. Having taken honors and advanced placement courses in high school, Deemer thought Honors College would be the right route for her.
Deemer, a biology major with a pre-med concentration in the College of Arts and Sciences, had no idea that the route would take her from a research lab in Ohio to an education-abroad program in Florence, Italy.
“I love being in the Honors College,” Deemer said “Especially during my freshman year when I lived in Stopher Hall and had a lot of friends within the Honors College. One of my favorite things is the elevated class style. I feel like the honors courses are more collaborative and the attendance in the courses is notably better.”
Deemer is one of 404 Honors College students who are majoring in health-related fields. After graduating in 2026, she plans to pursue pediatrics, oncology or genetics as a medical geneticist.
Deemer’s name may sound familiar because Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine recently appointed her to the Kent State Board of Trustees as undergraduate student trustee in December 2024. Her appointment concludes on May 16, 2026. She replaces fellow Honors College member Haley Dees, whose term as student trustee recently expired.
