New X-ray Diffraction Laboratory at YSU

When Jennifer Miller went to another university for an internship, she realized how fortunate she was to study chemistry at Youngstown State University. The junior chemistry major from McDonald was allowed to use the tools and equipment in the chemistry department as a freshman — unlike some universities that only allow graduate students and above to use the tools. “If I don’t get this experience and have these opportunities, how can I know what my opportunities are?” she said. “I am grateful to YSU for not only investing in these opportunities, but for investing in my future.” On Tuesday, Miller was the center of the ribbon-cutting ceremony inside a new X-ray Diffraction Laboratory in the College of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math with YSU President Jim Tressel next to her and U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan of Howland, D-13th.
