"I found my science professors willing to talk, listen, andget to knowme. This kind of individual interaction increased my respect for them and added another dimension to my education." - Penny Stackhouse, a 1989 chemistry graduate, studies and serves as a research assistant in water quality chemistry at the University of Illinois.
