Past Award Recipients

What our students say:

“Running my own research project has provided me with experience that I would not have received in the classroom.

Research isn't emphasized at all in our undergrad curriculum, so I feel like I'm ahead of many of my peers in this respect. I'm extremely fortunate for this overall experience.”
