Nancy Mills '72 discusses her inspiration to pursue a career in chemistry

It was her own experience as an undergraduate, working alongside chemistry professor Gene Wubbels at Grinnell College in the late 1970s, that sparked Nancy S. Mills's lifelong passion for promoting just that sort of collaboration. As a result of that opportunity, "I was convinced that a career in chemistry would be fun and knew that I wanted to work at an undergraduate college where I could balance teaching and research," says Mills, 63, Murchison Professor of Chemistry at Trinity University in San Antonio.
