Harold Pier
Professor Emeritus of Chemistry
"I got a chance to do hands-on research, which really helped when I applied to graduate schools. I was more prepared, compared to students from larger colleges, because we had more one-on-one instruction and a chance to do more hands-on work with the instrumentation."
