Graduate Profile
Kelsey Hughes
Graduation: 2009
Major: Biochemistry
Kelsey Hughes ’09 was attracted to Alma College’s biochemistry program like a proton is attracted to an electron.
“I’ve always sort of been on the border right between chemistry and biology, so biochemistry was the perfect combination of both of my interests,” she says. “Alma also felt right to me. As soon as I set foot on campus, I felt at home. When I visited with professors and students, that feeling was only reinforced.”
