Samantha鈥檚 Graduate Student Experience
“I knew I wanted to go to 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock because of the undergraduate scholarship opportunities and to stay close to my family. What I didn鈥檛 know was that I would find a second home within the chemistry program. During an undergraduate research project, I decided I wanted to stay at 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock to pursue my doctoral degree in chemistry.
The most significant part of being a graduate student at 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock has been the amazing opportunities to take part in conducting high quality research, gain skills as a teaching assistant, and encourage the next generation of STEM leaders. I have published three peer-reviewed papers on the research I鈥檝e done. My long-term goal is to obtain a post-doctoral fellowship and eventually become a research faculty professor.”
