For the fourth consecutive year, a St. Mary’s University program designed to guide talented minority students in the School of Science, Engineering and Technology into graduate research programs has made a perfect score.
The Minority Access to Research Careers Undergraduate Student Training in Academic Research program (MARC U*STAR, for short) has been on the St. Mary’s campus for nearly three decades.
The May 2012 MARC graduates and their doctoral programs are (pictured from left) Tanya Lerma, Biomedical Sciences at the University of North Texas Health Science Center; Jaclyn Bermudez, Chemistry at the University of North Texas Health Science Center; Arthur Furlong, Pathology and Immunology at the Baylor College of Medicine; Chrystal Loya, Molecular and Cellular Biology at the Baylor College of Medicine; and Tracy Gonzalez, Statistics at Rice University.
