		<title>Rachel: 49ers Cheerleader, MIT chemical engineer working at Tesla Motors</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I would love to be a role model for young women considering or pursuing a career in science and engineering. I hope I can inspire someone to follow her dreams. Being an NFL cheerleader is a great way to be a role model because it puts you in the public eye where your story, passions and advice can be shared.]]></description>

		<title>Brianna: Patriots cheerleader majoring in biology and chemistry&#8230;future dentist!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my high school AP Psychology class, learning about the lateralization of brain function was confounding to me as I related it to my own personality. If you are right-brain dominant, then you are abstract and favor the arts, while those left-brain dominant individuals are more concrete and achieve in the sciences. Was I supposed to fit the mold of one of these categorizations? Last year at UMDNJ, the Summer Medical and Dental Education Program (SMDEP) illuminated the fact that dentistry integrated science with art. I found myself in the dental lab using different instruments to meticulously sculpt wax to form a crown, and that is when I discovered dentistry would fulfill both of my desires for a profession.]]></description>

		<title>Asia: New England Patriots cheerleader, prepping for medical school entrance exams</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Science Cheerleaders must be positive role models to the younger generation as well which I believe I am. Growing up, I was always presented with the rule that if you do not keep up your grades, there will be no cheerleading. This gave me a positive outlook towards education and made me want to do well so that I could participate in the sport that I love. I am well rounded with a desire to keep learning and am equally passionate about science and cheerleading.]]></description>

		<title>Sarah: Patriots Cheerleader who loves math</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sports Economics and Econometric Theory were my favorite courses. Sports Econ was great because it combined my interest in economics, math, and sports. We learned how the professional sporting leagues handle issues such as ticket pricing and revenue sharing by looking at various statistical models. My professor used to consult with several of the major leagues and offered a real perspective into how the business of sports operates. Econometric Theory is an upper-level statistics course that taught me basic statistical modeling techniques. The two courses were very complementary. I even used the knowledge from these two courses to formulate my senior honors thesis.]]></description>
