Grad School considerations

Come listen to two Penn State ChE Alum talk about their journey through higher education! Bios: Kaylee Ermine completed her Chemical Engineering degree at Penn State in 2019. She then started graduate school at the University of Pittsburgh in the fall, where she is pursuing her PhD in Molecular Pharmacology. She currently works in Dr. Lin Zhang’s lab at the UPMC Hillman Cancer Center. Her research focuses on anticancer-therapy induced cell death in colorectal cancer. LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kaylee-ermine-9a4626126/ Albree earned her B.S. in chemical engineering in 2018. She became interested in attending graduate school after participating in undergraduate research where she was co-advised by Dr. Ralph Colby and Dr. Enrique Gomez. This led her to the University of Akron to pursue an M.S. degree in polymer engineering. Her thesis research focuses on transport phenomena and rheology, and she is looking forward to her master’s defense this summer! After completing her M.S., Albree will attend the University of Delaware as a Ph.D. student in materials science and engineering. One of Albree’s favorite things about Penn State will always be the life-long friends she made in the chemical engineering program and on the PSU Club Quidditch Team.

Come listen to another episode about retirement! This time, we have asked two female chemical engineers to share their experience! Bios: Suzette (Shaffer) Schultz earned simultaneous bachelor’s degrees in Chemical Engineering and Chemistry from Penn State University and she has used those degrees as a springboard to a distinguished 36+ year career in the pharmaceutical industry. Ms. Schultz has had a variety of positions within Bristol-Myers Squibb and AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals. Ms. Schultz devotes most of her spare time giving back to the community and is involved with a number of organizations that promote STEM fields to future engineers. LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/suzette-schultz-7305244/ Jane Hrehocik Clampitt began her career in a traditional chemical engineering role as a process engineer for Gulf Oil Corporation. Shortly after, she joined The DuPont Company where she transitioned from technical roles and established herself with a career focus on business-to-business marketing and sales.
