The Interdisciplinary Program in Molecular and Cellular Biology held its annual spring picnic May 1 at the Dairy Lane Park near the Ridges.
MCB graduate students, faculty, alumni and friends gathered to celebrate the completion of a successful year and recognize those graduating.
Dr. Sarah Wyatt, Professor of Environmental & Plant Biology and MCB Director, opened the event by thanking students for a highly productive and research active year. She stated that there were too many individual student accompaniments to list, however, made note that there were numerous publications, conference presentations and internal and external funding awards.
Wyatt presented the 2018 graduates—Debra Walter, Jonathan Young, Ashley Patton, Sarah Benner, and Mark Slayton—with a custom cast bronze medal. A new tradition begun this year, the medal will be worn with the students’ commencement regalia as a marks of distinction for completing their program of study in MCB.
