After his first year at K, he had the opportunity to join an archeological dig for the Gabii Project in Italy, living and working alongside students from around the country for five weeks: cleaning ancient artifacts, exploring cities by train, and adjusting to life fully on his own for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This spring, he&#8217;ll continue that journey in Strasbourg, France\u2014living with a host family and taking classes entirely in French.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;K has the ability to connect students with a myriad of experiences that go beyond the classroom,&#8221; Sam said. &#8220;I have been fortunate enough to receive some of these opportunities which would otherwise not have been possible without the grants and external aid provided by the College and our donors and alumni.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-column gb-block-layout-column\"><div class=\"gb-block-layout-column-inner\" style=\"padding-right:41px\">\n<div style=\"height:55px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/giving\/files\/2026\/08\/Sam-King-Gabii-resized-600x800.jpg\" alt=\"Sam King pointing to a find on the ground at Gabii dig site. \" class=\"wp-image-18844\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/giving\/files\/2026\/08\/Sam-King-Gabii-resized-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/giving\/files\/2026\/08\/Sam-King-Gabii-resized-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/giving\/files\/2026\/08\/Sam-King-Gabii-resized-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/giving\/files\/2026\/08\/Sam-King-Gabii-resized-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/giving\/files\/2026\/08\/Sam-King-Gabii-resized.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"543\" height=\"800\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/giving\/files\/2026\/08\/Sam-King-running-3-543x800.jpg\" alt=\"Sam King running in a cross country race with water splashing around his feet.\" class=\"wp-image-18846\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.6787582839204743;width:303px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/giving\/files\/2026\/08\/Sam-King-running-3-543x800.jpg 543w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/giving\/files\/2026\/08\/Sam-King-running-3-300x442.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/giving\/files\/2026\/08\/Sam-King-running-3-102x150.jpg 102w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/giving\/files\/2026\/08\/Sam-King-running-3-1043x1536.jpg 1043w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/giving\/files\/2026\/08\/Sam-King-running-3-1390x2048.jpg 1390w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/giving\/files\/2026\/08\/Sam-King-running-3-scaled.jpg 1738w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 543px) 100vw, 543px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:80px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container gb-block-container\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-columns gb-layout-columns-1 one-column has-white-background-color has-black-color\"><div class=\"gb-layout-column-wrap gb-block-layout-column-gap-2 gb-is-responsive-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-column gb-block-layout-column\"><div class=\"gb-block-layout-column-inner has-white-background-color\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-x-large-font-size\">Mentorship in Motion<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-columns gb-layout-columns-1 one-column gb-columns-center\"><div class=\"gb-layout-column-wrap gb-block-layout-column-gap-2 gb-is-responsive-column\" style=\"max-width:1487px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-column gb-block-layout-column\"><div class=\"gb-block-layout-column-inner\" style=\"padding-left:15px\">\n<p>Color explodes in the lab of Dr. Daniela Arias-Rotondo, Roger F. and Harriet G. Varney Associate Professor of Chemistry, from the photos and plants gifted to her by students to the new compounds taking shape in experiments around the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her lab\u2019s goal is ambitious and ongoing: developing compounds that can absorb sunlight and convert it into useable solar energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I am the idea person,&#8221; Dr. Arias-Rotondo (Dr. DAR as her students call her) says. &#8220;I make plans on how to get there, but I do very little myself. Students are the ones who are doing 90% of what happens in the lab.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students in her lab learn as much as possible\u2014they maintain the equipment, changing gas cylinders and oil in the vacuum pumps. &#8220;Confidence grows when they do more! Sometimes the process may be slower, but we can see the payoff.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What sets K\u2019s research relationships apart from other schools or even graduate student work, is that everyone in the lab has close to equal footing. Undergraduates bring an energy and excitement that Dr. DAR doesn&#8217;t take for granted. &#8220;When students see the things I do every day for the first time, it makes it cool again to see it through their eyes.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That relationship doesn&#8217;t end when a student studies abroad or steps away for a sports season. &#8220;I want them to know that they can come back, even with an academic quarter off.&#8221; Projects keep moving without them, and the lab makes room for it, because, for Dr. DAR, the point was never just the research; it&#8217;s teaching and mentoring the people doing it.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:80px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-columns gb-layout-columns-3 gb-3-col-equal\"><div class=\"gb-layout-column-wrap gb-block-layout-column-gap-2 gb-is-responsive-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-column gb-block-layout-column\"><div class=\"gb-block-layout-column-inner\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"696\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/giving\/files\/2026\/08\/Mallory-Gentry-28-1-alt.jpg\" alt=\"Mallory Gentry in the lab, working under a hood with tools and instruments. \" class=\"wp-image-18855\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1;object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/giving\/files\/2026\/08\/Mallory-Gentry-28-1-alt.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/giving\/files\/2026\/08\/Mallory-Gentry-28-1-alt-300x323.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/giving\/files\/2026\/08\/Mallory-Gentry-28-1-alt-600x647.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/giving\/files\/2026\/08\/Mallory-Gentry-28-1-alt-139x150.jpg 139w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-column gb-block-layout-column\"><div class=\"gb-block-layout-column-inner\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1777\" height=\"1107\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/giving\/files\/2026\/08\/Lab-2.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Daniela Arias-Rotondo, Caroline Johnson and Meena Moritz observing an experiment. \" class=\"wp-image-18856\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1;object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/giving\/files\/2026\/08\/Lab-2.jpg 1777w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/giving\/files\/2026\/08\/Lab-2-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/giving\/files\/2026\/08\/Lab-2-600x374.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/giving\/files\/2026\/08\/Lab-2-150x93.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/giving\/files\/2026\/08\/Lab-2-1536x957.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1777px) 100vw, 1777px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-column gb-block-layout-column\"><div class=\"gb-block-layout-column-inner\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"629\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/giving\/files\/2026\/08\/Lab-6-alt-600x629.jpg\" alt=\"Meena Moritz and Caroline Johnson in the lab laughing. \" class=\"wp-image-18857\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1;object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/giving\/files\/2026\/08\/Lab-6-alt-600x629.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/giving\/files\/2026\/08\/Lab-6-alt-300x314.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/giving\/files\/2026\/08\/Lab-6-alt-143x150.jpg 143w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/giving\/files\/2026\/08\/Lab-6-alt.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:80px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-columns gb-layout-columns-4 gb-4-col-equal gb-columns-center\"><div class=\"gb-layout-column-wrap gb-block-layout-column-gap-2 gb-is-responsive-column\" style=\"max-width:1217px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-column gb-block-layout-column\"><div class=\"gb-block-layout-column-inner has-k-orange-background-color\" style=\"padding-top:45px;padding-right:25px;padding-bottom:50px;padding-left:25px\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-911f2746c734112d71ca67c55ea9349e\">Meena Moritz &#8217;28<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Undergraduate research is not an option everywhere.

These opportunities also strengthen our community partners by advancing their missions and expanding their reach.
