MCIP Graduate Students Continue to Succeed in Both Research and Mentoring!


    Dean's Mentorship Award
    Darren Hwee
    Congratulations to Kristi Bezold for being one of the 2012 recipients of the Dean's Mentorship Award!
    The Dean's Mentorship Award was created to help support both graduate and undergraduate students in their research and to honor the efforts of graduate students who mentor those around them. Graduate student winners are nominated by their faculty advisor and chosen by a committee to receive the award. In addition, they are then able to divide an additional award among the undergraduate students who work with them in the lab.

    Philip Matern Selected as a Teaching Assistant Consultant  
    I am very excited for the opportunity to assist the graduate teaching community in evaluating and improving teaching techniques.  As a TA consultant, I hope to share the insights and strategies I’ve developed through my teaching experiences while continuing to learn and develop new teaching approaches across a variety of disciplines.  I'm a proponent of incorporating active learning strategies in the classroom to get students engaged in constructing knowledge, and look forward to improving my understanding and use of active learning techniques throughout my time with the TAC program.

    I'm a Ph.D. student in the Molecular, Cellular, and Integrative Physiology (MCIP) department currently studying the regulation of skeletal and cardiac muscle mass and the role specific E3 ligases play in atrophy and hypertrophy.

    Congratulations to Tingting Liu (an incoming MCIP graduate student) for receiving a Seahorse Biosciences Travel Award for her recent presentation.
