Tayo Sanders II

Kimberly
Sophomore
Major: Materials Science
Minor: Chemistry

Tayo makes the most of his time by staying active on Campus. He participates in undergraduate research for Materials Science and represents the American Chemical Society as an officer. Additionally, he finds time to give tours as a Campus Ambassador, play all manner of recreation league sports, and lead the Triathlon Club as a co-captain.

Tayo set his sights on UW-Eau Claire for its strong science programs and commitment to striving for a more personal educational experience. The vast array of opportunities to explore his interests and the stunning vistas also solidified his campus choice.

In April Tayo will be presenting at the national ACS conference in New Orleans and representing UWEC at USA Triathlon nationals in Tempe, AZ.
