As a member of the Gatton Academy of Mathematics and Science during his senior year of high school, Andrew got a head start calling WKU home. That early transition played a major role in his decision to attend WKU.
"WKU has always felt like family. Everyone here, my family, professors, lunch ladies, even President Ransdell has made this campus feel like home to me."
Andrew soon realized how passionate he was becoming about science and the work he was doing at WKU.
"My passion for physics has grown immensely since I started at Gatton Academy my senior year of high school. I now have the incredible opportunity to work in research with Dr. Strolger, a professor in the WKU Physics and Astronomy Department who has done a considerable amount of research with a group of scientists who recently won the Nobel Prize in Physics."
Andrew says it was WKU that helped him realize his passion and provide him with groundbreaking opportunities in his field.
"I'm getting to play a part in discovering, studying, measuring and quantifying data in the study of dark energy and supernovae. This is science that hasn't been done before."
Real science. Real community. Just a few more ways WKU is becoming A Leading American University with International Reach.
