Kristen Hunter-Cevera

Harriet Alexander

Please join me in congratulating JP Bio Students Harriet Alexander, Kristen Hunter-Cevera and Emily Moberg. Harriet and Kristen both won prestigious three-year fellowships from the Department of Defense. The National Defense Science & Engineering Graduate Fellowships are awarded to "individuals who have demonstrated the ability and special aptitude for advanced training in science and engineering."

In addition, Harriet and incoming student Emily Moberg were awarded NSF Graduate Research Fellowships.  According to the website, "the reputation of the GRFP follows recipients and often helps them become life-long leaders that contribute significantly to both scientific innovation and teaching. Past fellows include numerous Nobel Prize winners, U.S. Secretary of Energy, Steven Chu, Google founder, Sergey Brin and Freakonomicsco-author, Steven Levitt."

But don't worry, Harriet, Kristen and Emily....no pressure!
