Chemistry Professor Knettle writes, “I met Halley through her enrollment in my CHEM 120 and CHEM 121 courses. I have been very impressed with her throughout her freshman year where she has ranked in the top 20% of both courses. While she is somewhat quiet in class, Halley consistently steps up to lead a discussion or conversation. She engages her peers well and collectively drives the class forward.”
