Biography
Ruth Davis is a mechanical engineering major from Houston, Texas, who’s deciding between two disciplines and career options: A doctoral degree so that she can conduct space research and eventually become an astronaut or a dual MD-Ph.D. so that she can conduct research on tropical diseases and treat people in Africa. Davis chose to attend Howard because of the wonderful experiences both her parents had when they attended, as well as the opportunity to be around other Black students with similar goals and spirit of determination. She chose to pursue STEM because she wants to make the greatest impact on the world and believes she has the greatest ability to do that through this field.
