Molly Coats is graduating with her M.S. in Geoscience this May!

Text on first slide reads: Graduate Student Spotlight Molly Coats Master of Science in Geoscience. The photo is Molly in her undergraduate graduation gown on campus.

Text on the second slide reads: Why West Chester University? Molly provided the following quote "I chose West Chester University for graduate school because I had such a positive experience there during my undergraduate years in the Earth and Space Sciences Department. I was excited to remain part of the WCU community while continuing my education, and the opportunity to complete my master’s degree in just one year made it an especially practical choice. This experience has taught me the importance of time management, balance, and asking for help when needed. More than anything, it has made me grateful for the support of my family and friends. As I apply for jobs in the environmental consulting field, I am proud of what I have accomplished and grateful for the opportunities WCU gave me."
