Junior neuroscience major Katelyn Willis recently placed first in an exam-based biochemistry competition against other undergraduate students at the Texas HOSA Spring Leadership Conference. The annual conference brings together aspiring healthcare professionals for the purposes of competing and building leadership skills. With this achievement, Katelyn has qualified to compete at the international level. She credits her achievement to the depth of BICH 410 and 411, as well as exceptional instruction from Dr. Pozzi, the SIs, and the TAs.
