PRES STUDENTS LEAD THE WAY FOR WOMEN IN STEM Rithu Paramesh ‘20 and Ria Nawathe ‘20 are paving the way and inspiring the community with their efforts in STEM. Rithu was actively involved in robotics, science, and clubs, and Ria has been working diligently on a science project throughout her high school years that won several awards.
