Some of my students were able to meet faculty from the universities where they will pursue their Ph.D. studies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nguyen added, \u201cI am immensely proud of my students\u2019 work, their presentations, their development, and their achievements, and the fact that some of them have been accepted into Ph.D. programs at esteemed graduate schools.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ive Hollins students presented posters at the national meeting of the American Chemical Society (ACS), held in March in Indianapolis.
