Why did you choose this program?

The environment and culture drew me to HSU! I loved being encapsulated in nature and being far away from any cities. The chemistry department fit my criteria of what I was looking for in a class setting. They were small to medium sized classes and the professors were passionately involved with the subjects they taught! Professors were always available for questions and clarity on any aspect of the information they were provided. Also, the program was filled with so many opportunities to be involved in! From undergraduate researching to participating in local events to provide chemistry knowledge to community.

How did this program prepare you for your job?

Class assignments dedicated to in-depth research and reporting is now essential to my everyday duties. Writing so many reports has made me proficient at writing process controls, research papers, and quality proposals. Also, communicating chemistry concepts to the community and my co-workers effectively, assisted me by providing credibility and advancing proposed projects to implementation.

What did you enjoy most about the program?

I love the relationships I’ve developed with my peers and my professors! To this day, I love seeing the continual successes coming to their lives and it all started with the experiences, knowledge and support we acquired from the HSU chemistry department!
