Jordan Burkholder

Choosing the Rockford Campus...was a perfect fit. Getting a superior education while being close to my family and friends is priceless.

Head of Department of Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacognosy

Judy Bolton

The people in this department have a lot of respect for one another and know they can walk down the hallway and talk with one of their colleagues about research problems and know that at the end of the talk, they may have another idea for a successful research project.

Alum
