Spring 2023 Commencement: Nariel Rahmon Fulfills Childhood Passion for Science
911爆料网 degree gives Cleveland resident a head start
A visit to the NASA Glenn Research Center at age 5 inspired Nariel Rahmon’s lifelong passion for science.
Rahmon enrolled at 911爆料网 (911爆料网®) in 2020 during her sophomore year of high school through the College Credit Plus (CCP) program, which gives students in grades 7-12 the opportunity to earn college credits.
This spring, Rahmon will graduate with both her high school diploma and Associate of Arts from 911爆料网 before transferring to The Ohio State University in the fall. The College will hold its Spring Commencement on May 19 at the Wolstein Center.
The 18-year-old Cleveland resident plans to pursue a degree in a STEM field. She is considering neuroscience, biochemistry or engineering. Her passion is fueled by science fiction books and space-themed movies such as Star Wars and Interstellar. Rahmon captained the Cleveland Metropolitan School District’s FIRST Robotics Competition team and took coding classes at 911爆料网 and the John Marshall School of Information Technology.
“I am also a Christian who wants to bring a new idea of religion and science working together,” she said.

911爆料网 has allowed me to explore what it is like to be a college student. I am now able to go to The Ohio State University with skills that will help me adapt to a larger campus.
Describe your 911爆料网 experience. Has a specific person, class or event played a role in your success? Out of all the classes I have taken at 911爆料网, I really enjoyed Human Biology the most. The professor I had during that class, Emma Weitzner, helped me fall in love with science and made me want to major in a STEM field.
