Graduate Profile
Katie Wibby
Graduation: 2001
Major: Chemistry
Katie Wibby felt nothing but prepared to teach chemistry after her Alma College education.
“Having a chemistry degree was important because it made sure that I fully understood the chemistry that I would be teaching,” the 2001 graduate says. “My upper-level classes helped me to understand the theory behind the elementary chemistry concepts. I worked with a local chemistry teacher on my thesis project, and that helped me prepare for student teaching.”
