Student Profile: Kelsey Hughes
Kelsey Hughes’ biochemistry major gives her experience in a variety of career choices.
“Right now I am planning further study in molecular biology, and my time at Alma will give me a great deal of hands-on laboratory and research experience,” the Battle Creek junior says.
That research experience has allowed her to work on several different projects, including a summer National Science Foundation Research for Undergraduates Experience program at the University of Michigan.
“Had I not come to Alma I don’t think I would be involved in nearly as many activities outside of class or have become so involved with independent research projects. ”
The campus size originally drew Hughes to Alma, and she was impressed with the welcoming campus atmosphere and professor-student interaction.
“Had I not come to Alma I don’t think I would be involved in nearly as many activities outside of class or have become so involved with independent research projects,” she says.
