Introducing this year's Epstein Scholars
Through a generous gift, Michael Epstein, Esq. ('75, B.A. Bio) established the Epstein Family Endowment for the purpose of supporting undergraduate research. All received funding for materials and supplies to complete their research.

All of this year’s recipients are members of the department’s honors class and will be receiving their degree in 2021. They have been busy presenting their research in the Honors Class, led by Professor Michael Kuchka.
