Past Student Facilitators:
We are fortunate to have had some  very outstanding undergraduate student facilitators participating in the WISE Group Study Sessions.  These students assist others with their courses in Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics.

About Me: I love Chemistry! I am a senior and am planning on graduating in the Spring. I am the president of Chemistry Club, and I encourage anyone with the slightest interest in chemistry to join. I also enjoy extra curricular activities outside of chemistry. I am currently taking beginning ballet and play french horn in the GVSU Concert Band. My career goal is still undecided. I do enjoy sharing my excitement for chemistry, so maybe I'll be a chemistry professor!

Favorite quote: "Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect."  Mark Twain
