Katie Roberts, a siophomore at Georgia Tech and AHS graduate, met with Dr.Creel, Dr.Miller, Caroline O'Bannon, Kevin McCage, and Jennie Persinger to discuss her experience with D2D in Chad Mote's class. Katie offered valuable suggestions based on her experience with the program. She is a true advocate for Direct 2 Discovery and feels the experience was a large contributing factor in her decision to go to Georgia Tech and pursue a degree in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering.
