Chemistry & Biochemistry

Erin Fraundorf

• Biochemistry

After graduating from UWL, I went on to dental school where I obtained my DMD degree and graduated valedictorian. Then, I continued my education and pursued a specialty degree in orthodontics where I again graduated valedictorian. I attribute a lot of my scholastic successes to the incredible faculty and classes I had at UWL.

It wasn’t until leaving UWL that I discovered how exceptional my undergraduate education was. As a student at UWL, we had accessible faculty who were often willing to go out of their way to ensure students succeeded. Classes at UWL were rigorous and the curriculum rivals (if not beats) that of top-tier universities.

• Chemistry

UWL offered an exceptional undergraduate experience. Both the college of science and business had great courses and professors who drove engaging classes.

Jason Schroeder

• Chemistry

I was able to present my research at a major international conference during my senior year. This was a great way to get a glimpse of what scientific life was like at the top level, and it helped me better-understand what was needed to reach that level.

Dr. Asieudu Boateng

• Biochemistry

My studies at UWL helped me develop the skills and experience needed to pursue graduate and professional studies as a career goal. A great deal of the rigorous and challenging coursework between biochemistry and chemistry helped me breeze through my doctorate program in pharmacy.

Davin Evans

• Biochemistry

Starting my research experience during my first year of college has been invaluable, and it will set me up for future success. It has solidified my goal to attend graduate school.

Anthony Brandt

• Biochemistry

Within the department, each course seemed to have the perfect balance of class size, where there were plenty of students to bounce ideas off of and keep the subject matter fun and stimulating, while still maintaining a small enough environment to never feel like you were getting lost in the crowd.

Taylor Hackel

• Chemistry

The chemistry faculty truly want students to succeed and prepare us for competitive positions in academia and industry. I will always be very grateful to Dr. Heather Schenck for teaching me to run kinetic studies on the NMR [Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer] for my senior project and being an amazing mentor.

Andrew Brownfield

• Biochemistry

My four years at UWL prepared me for a wide variety of options. Between research, lectures and lab, I gained valuable experience in many settings and developed time-management strategies that remain critical to this day.

Hannah Piper

• Biochemistry

The rigor of courses at UWL prepared me for the high expectations in my graduate coursework. The extensive laboratory opportunities at UWL helped me to become an independent scientist. I feel that I learned many important lab skills in both my undergraduate coursework and research.

Danielle Rux

• Biochemistry

At UWL I benefited from small class sizes and one-on-one assistance, especially in upper level courses. I was able to generate professional relationships with my professors that led to more meaningful and personalized recommendations that were critical for the next steps in my career.

Nanna Takahashi

• Biochemistry

UWL has helped me in various aspects of my career, ranging from understanding difficult biological principles to working as a team with colleagues and customers. It taught me how to be self-motived, to think creatively and to problem solve on the spot.
