Recently, Lincoln High seniors Tu Doan and Thao Trinh Le, were awarded a $500 scholarship by the UNL Department of Chemistry, and was presented to them at Annual Chemistry Day on October 10th. The two were selected from a pool of over sixty students from around the Midwest who also attended the event. Tu Doan and Thao Trinh Le were chosen because of their outstanding academic records, and for their potential as Chemistry Majors at UNL.
Chemistry Day is an event in which high school students, their parents, and their teachers are introduced to the opportunities and careers in the field of Chemistry, and the day had many activities such as guided tours of chemistry labs, special informational session (with experimental demonstrations), and a special movie session by Dr. Mark Griep.
