Dr. Ali Zand, Professor of Organic Chemistry
Ph.D. from Michigan State University in Organic Chemistry.

Zand views Kettering students as dedicated, goal-oriented and driven, and feels that the cooperative education program distinguishes them from other college students. He enjoys the interactions with students that result from Kettering's smaller class sizes.

His advice for prospective students is "if you are driven, like a challenge, and want to know what real-life education is all about, give Kettering a try."

Hidden talents and outside interests: Zand gets in touch with his inner sportsman by playing golf and soccer.
