Campus ChampionIt’s the problem-solving aspects of science that Tariq Hussain credits with his passion for chemistry. The sophomore chemistry and biomedical sciences dual major attempts to take all of it in. “The facility (Bowers Hall) is amazing, the professors motivate us and there are so many opportunities to get involved,” Tariq said. He’s done exactly that, reviving the Chemistry Club last year and connecting it with a local elementary school and the American Chemistry Society.
