Since age 8, Milan Marsh said, she has been drawn to math and its problem-solving aspect.

Her introduction to Virginia Commonwealth University came during high school, when the American Chemical Society’s Project SEED Program, in partnership with VCU Chemistry Department, offered her a two-month summer research internship.

“That experience had a major impact on me,” Marsh said of the program that provided hands-on laboratory work, as well as college readiness and financial support. “It sparked my interest in scientific research and gave me very positive experiences with the university, its faculty and its community. Because of that, VCU was always a place I held in high regard, so when I was looking at Ph.D. programs, it felt like a natural choice.”
