Our remaining graduates are working with local companies in the chemical industry. Two at Npa coatings, one at PPG and another at Lincoln Electric.
Internship Opportunities
Summer internships are available in local industries and research labs. Research internships at institutions across the country are available as well.
This summer students are participating in internships at Colorado State University, University of Akron, Purdue University, Cleveland Clinic and PPG. We are also fortunate to have a student receive a Chester's Scholar Fellowship at Metropolitan Hospital in Cleveland. Several students will participate in the Baldwin-Wallace Summer Scholar's Research Program under the mentorship of Drs. Shively, and Barko. Another student has been awarded a Gund Fellowship and will also do research this summer.
