Students excelling in academics . . .

Three students from Saint Mary’s, along with their faculty advisors, participated in the Minnesota Private College Scholars at the Capitol event in February to present the results of their independent research and creative scholarship. Our students included Grace Christensen, Paige Jensen and Alex Braun.

Six students are experiencing transformative educational opportunities this spring as interns in our nation's capital through the Washington Center for Internships and Academic Seminars. The students and their internship sites are: Gia Puch, White House Office of National Drug Control Policy; Nicole Haley, Kohn, Kohn & Colapinto law firm; Nora Gilson, Kohn, Kohn & Colapinto law firm; Carissa Hahn, Association of American Medical Colleges; Robert Speedling, U.S. Department of Interior; and Alexi Lund, Department of the Treasury in the Office of Civil Rights and Diversity.


Recognizing the quality of their science research targets and proposals, six students were awarded national biology honor society Beta Beta Beta Research Foundation research grants. The students are Alex Braun, Erika Hurley, Danielle Strebel, Lauren Ulbrich, Samantha Dahlstrom and Cassandra Hulett.
