Her emphasis is student recruitment, placement and internships. She has been working with Engineering Summer Programs since 2005 and decided to work at NC State because she enjoys helping students find a comfortable fit in their academic programs and in their career after graduation.

Emily Morton is currently a senior in Biological and Agricultural Engineering, with a concentration in Bioprocessing. She is working with Dr. Veal  this summer on his projects and will be helping his grad students. For Emily, Biological Engineering was the only major that involves problem solving, math, science, and provided her an opportunity to help the environment.
