STUDENT SPOTLIGHT

Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering undergrad student at The University of Akron

I had no idea what career to pursue in college. I had a strong background in chemistry and calculus, so chemical engineering seemed like a great fit. After a semester in the program, I never looked back.”
