“As I pursued my degree, I continued to add things to my major and expand my interests through the exceptional education I got at Sam. I was able to attend conferences and present my work. I honestly don’t believe I’d be where I am today if I didn’t go to Sam. Had I gone to another school, I probably would have gotten lost in the woods.”
Dr. Katelyn Bruno | SHSU Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, 2011
