“From
my very first year, I found
a genuine sense of belonging – belonging
to a college that expressed
a sincere interest in the education
and development of young people.
I extend my heartfelt gratitude
to the faculty of the Chemistry
Department – a team of
professors dedicated to the
growth and success of its graduates.”

taught me to chase my dreams,

"When I graduated
from Western, I realized I
was much better prepared to
enter the workplace than students
from any other college or university
around. I found that I had
better skills in the lab and
more hands-on experience than
they had. My 'golden' experience
was winning a national chemistry
award for my research and being
awarded a grant to present
it at a national meeting."
Kim Willis,

“As a graduate student,
I was pleasantly surprised
to find that the educational
resources and the quality of
instruction available to me
as an undergraduate student
were equivalent to larger and
more expensive universities.
In some respects, the smaller
class size and ability to work
more closely with faculty gave
me an advantage.
The faculty at Western truly
care about the students and
want them to succeed. Now
that I am a university instructor,
I am trying to give my students
the same attention and commitment
that I was given while an
undergraduate student at
Western.”
Dr. Darrin L. Smith, ’97
Assistant
Professor
Eastern Kentucky University
