| What makes Grand View unique among other universities? |
| Grand View allows for a personal connection between the student and faculty. You are a member of the class, not just a face in the crowd. Your instructors will get to know you, your strengths and weaknesses, and help you learn to your desired capacity. Despite being a small institution, it is not lacking in cutting-edge instrumentation that students learn to operate independently and interpret their collected data. This level of high quality instrumentation is uncommon among small institutions like Grand View. |
| What is your favorite part about working at Grand View? |
| Getting to know students. They are the lifeblood of the institution as well as the future of science. Interacting with each of them and fostering their knowledge and curiosity are what motivate me every day. The foundations they learn at Grand View will be the launching pad for all of their future successes. |
