Three alums nab top science honors
Quantum physics. Computational chemistry. Scanning electron micro-scopy. At many colleges, these fields are off-limits to undergraduate researchers. But not so at Lewis & Clark College.
"We worked directly with professors on fairly independent research projects at Lewis & Clark," says Marie Spong ’01, who is currently enrolled in a graduate program at Harvard University. For Spong and others, that firsthand experience with real-world science is netting prestigious awards and significant cash for graduate study.
