“During my freshman year I declared my major as Health Science. I became interested in getting a chemistry major as well after receiving the 2017-2018 General Chemistry Student of the Year award from Dr. Sundstrom. I enjoyed her classes and was able to gain hands–on experience in the chemistry lab through a laboratory preparation and management course.”
