Chemistry

The winner of this year’s prize is MATTHEW HUTCHINSON ’19.

It isn’t all beakers, flasks, and test tubes for chemistry major Matthew Hutchinson. Although Matt spent much of his time at Allegheny in the lab, he also minored in Global Health Studies and found time to volunteer at the local soup kitchen in Meadville and work alongside fellow project assistants at Creek Connections. As Matt looks beyond Allegheny, he plans to attend grad school in the fall. Additional clubs and activities he was involved with include Beta Chi chemistry honor society and Chemii.

Seven of Allegheny’s chemistry and biochemistry students presented their research at the American Chemical Society annual conference in Orlando, FL on March 30-April 2. Congratulations to all of you! The gator community is so proud!
