Emillie Murdock, Brenna Alford, Jaylene Nauss and Ariana Rosero are each getting $1,500 each to support research in biology and related life sciences. STFX senior research professor Dr. William (Bill) Marshall established the awards in honor of his grandfather, Zachariah Adam Hall.
The endowed awards commemorate the 100th anniversary of Hall’s 1926 hockey-stick patent while supporting undergraduate research and helping students begin careers in the life sciences.
