FAVORITE MEMORY
My favorite memory was definitely the organic chemistry classes I took, especially with Dr. Bowman, Dr. Weix, and Dr. Hill. Those three helped turn a class that many dread into something I thrived in and enjoyed. I especially credit Dr. Hill for his work in adjusting Chem 346 for online class and making it as smooth as possible for students in an online setting.
