Samuel Paik
MS, '99; PhD Candidate '02
Program in Industrial Hygiene
Hometown: Southfield, MI

"I like U of M because of its 24-hour library on North campus, its convenient shuttle-bus system, and its three exercise facilities. I like the industrial hygiene program because it is taught by world-renowned faculty who are involved in broad areas of industrial hygiene research. As graduate students, we have opportunities to work with faculty in their particular field of research. We also learn a great deal through hands-on instruction and a high teacher:student ratio. Some of the courses focus on interpersonal and presentation skills, which are also important for the industrial hygienist. Overall, the IH program provides a well-rounded education."
