Shibo Zhang, a postdoctoral fellow in Plant and Microbial Biology, was lost to the plant community in a tragic accident in December 2007. An endowment in his honor was created to recognize excellence in undergraduate education in the department, something very important to Dr. Zhang. Award winners receive a $500 gift. The Zhang Award and $500 for 2015 for the two Major Citation Winners is being given to:
Genetics and Plant Biology Major: Martin Alexander
Microbial Biology Major: Vadim Osadchiy
The award was presented at the PMB Seminar on Wednesday, May 6, in 101 Barker Hall at noon.
