I chose UNK because of the small but lively community. It excited me to see my brother interact regularly with his professors and assured me that I would not get lost in the numbers. I was intrigued by the many opportunities in the fields that I wanted to pursue including orchestra and chemistry research.
I gained so much from researching in Dr. Thomas’ lab. The skills and work ethic that I learned have helped me grow as a chemist while working in industry. It was amazing to be able to have hands on experience in the lab, which can be rare at larger universities.
