UWB Chemistry student wins ACS scholarship and 4 students present research at American Chemical Society's Undergraduate Symposium
The Puget Sound chapter of the American Chemical Society (ACS) held their annual Undergraduate Research Symposium on April 25, 2015, at Pacific Lutheran University. Four UWB students—Angela Angelevska, Virkamal Dhaliwal, Xin Gao and Anthony Stillman—presented the results of their research in Biochemistry and Environmental Chemistry. A highlight of the day was Taryn Meacham being awarded an ACS scholarship to be used towards her undergraduate Chemistry education at UWB!
