Student Story
Taylor Owings
Chemistry

I had opportunities to do undergraduate research and be a teaching assistant for the Chemistry Department, both of which helped me get accepted into graduate school and prepared me for the biggest expectations of a research graduate student at a large university. The undergraduate research also allowed me to go to conferences and present while still in college.
