Students gaining real-world experience . . .


Biology students Sam Callisto, Alexander Thomas and Killian Gordon attended a talk by world-renowned neurosurgeon Garnette Sutherland, M.D. They had a chance to question Dr. Sutherland about his use of robotics in surgery, and later toured the advanced neurosurgery units at United Hospital in St. Paul.



Stephanie Valentine and Jennifer Koezly presented the results of their research projects at the State Capitol. Stephanie, a computer science major, presented “Just Truss Me: Geometric Recognizers,” while Jennifer’s research project was titled, “Iron Oxide/Nanoparticle Arrays as Multimodal Imaging Agents.”


Four Mayo Scholars from Saint Mary’s — Cree Kachelski and Brian Kasel, biology, along with business students Zachary Cizek and Billie Keilen (shown with their mentors and SMU advisors) — presented their joint project work to the Office of Intellectual Property at Mayo Clinic in Rochester. The students are this year’s Mayo Innovation Scholarship award winners.
