Madalyn Younger of Windsor, Colorado, was going to visit the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, but she stopped at Hastings College on the way — and the rest is history. A chemistry major who’ll be a senior in the fall, Younger has been able to get a lot of hands on experience, and thanks to supportive chemistry faculty, she’s completing an REU (research experience undergraduates) this summer.
Originally planning on a pharmacy track, Younger’s plans changed — and support from Hastings College chemistry professors helped her map out a path explore organic chemistry, dive into research and eventually become a professor.
