Sarah Wengryniuk Is One of Nations Five Women in Chemistry Merck Index Scholarship Recipients for 2007

Chemistry major and recent graduate, Sarah Wengryniuk, is one of five students nationwide selected as a 2007 Merck Index "Women in Chemistry" scholarship recipient.  Awards were presented during the Women in Industry breakfast at the Boston ACS meeting in August.  The five recipients later made presentations on their undergraduate research during a special award symposium.  Sarahs talk centered on organic synthesis involving silyl-lithium reagents to selectively reduce alpha, beta-epoxycarbonyls.  The results Sarah presented in Boston were from research conducted on the third floor of Sims over the course of three academic semesters and one summer under the mentorship of Dr. Aaron Hartel.  Merck is providing Sarah with a $5,000 graduate scholarship.  In August, Sarah began a Ph.D. in chemistry at Duke; the other four Merck recipients recently began graduate studies in chemistry at Princeton, Cal-Berkley, Stanford, and MIT.
