Kevin Pineault and Jessica Yau awarded ASPIRE Undergraduate Fellowships

9/22/2015

 
Congratulations to ungraduate researchers Kevin Pineault and Jessica Yau for each being awarded ASPIRE Fellowships for undergraduate research. The ASPIRE awards - funded through the Maryland Technology Enterprise Institute -  seek to broaden the educational experience of undergraduate engineering students through direct involvement in real-world engineering projects. Kevin and Jessica were selected for the fellowships based on their current vaccine work in the lab and a research proposal they prepared. Kevin is a senior undergraduate working with graduate student mentor Jim Andorko, and Jessica is a sophomore working with postdoctoral fellow mentor Yu-Chieh Chiu. Congratulations again to Kevin and Jessica!

During September were logging miles to raise money for pediatric cancer research!

9/1/2015

 
This September we're teaming up with Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) as part of the Alex’s Million Mile fundraiser. Teams across the county will run, walk, and bike to build awareness and raise donations for pediatric cancer research. Our research lab has started our own team, Engineers for Alex!, with a goal of $2500 and 680 miles. We’ll log our miles each day during the month of September and we’re hoping you can help us on our way! We’ve created a team page where you can track our progress and donate. Every dollar helps!

You can visit our team homepage and donate here: http://www.alexslemonade.org/mypage/1172618.

You can read more about Alex’s Million Mile on the event home page (http://www.alexslemonade.org/campaign/2015-alexs-million-mile) or learn more about Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation here: http://www.alexslemonade.org/  

Thanks for all the support!
