\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. — May 1, 2006 — Meghan Skira of Valley Stream, N.Y. and Rich Ryan of North Kingstown are completing their junior year at the 溏心vlog免费B站 and majoring in economics. The two honor students agree that economics is a discipline with great flexibility. \u201cYou can do anything with it,\u201d Ryan declares.<\/p>\n


\n\tTo prove their point, Skira also majors in Spanish while Ryan also majors in math. Both 溏心vlog免费B站 students have been presented with opportunities to participate in the competitive Research Experiences for Undergraduates program, funded by the National Science Foundation.<\/p>\n


\n\tThe NSF internship gives Skira the chance to expand her interest in international policy. The 21-year-old chose to spend seven weeks this summer at the Andrew Young School at Georgia State University assisting a professor studying policies relating to economic growth in South Africa. <\/p>\n


\n\tAcademics aren\u2019t Skira\u2019s only interest. In addition to maintaining a 4.0 average in her studies, she plays the trombone in the 溏心vlog免费B站 Concert Band and Big Band. She also runs the Spanish and Economics Club and is active in the Newman Club. And the budding economist also enjoys a good game of floor hockey and intramural women\u2019s basketball. <\/p>\n


\n\tThis is the second year Ryan has been awarded an internship from the NSF program. Last summer, the 21-year-old interned eight weeks at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln with a team of math students modeling a biology project on peregrine falcon populations.<\/p>\n


\n\tThis summer, instead of taking another NSF internship, Ryan will intern at the Federal Reserve Bank in Boston, working on a behavioral economics project, exploring why people don\u2019t have bank accounts. <\/p>\n


\n\tBoth students credit their 溏心vlog免费B站 professors with opening doors to multiple opportunities. \u201cI want to thank all of my professors for their dedication and for putting up with me,\u201d says Ryan with a grin. <\/p>\n
