Amala won the Munroe Undergraduate Research Grant!

Dorothy Levis Munroe and her twin sister Katheryne Levis McCormick attended UNCG and majored in Chemistry, graduating in 1944. Dorothy earned her Master’s degree in Chemistry, taught high school Mathematics, was the first woman to serve on the Board of Education in Newark, DE, and was very involved in the American Association of University Women. In her later years, Ms. Munroe created an endowed fund at UNCG to provide students with resources to explore the world of research in the sciences.

This grant program is intended to enhance the research work of undergraduate students in the natural sciences and mathematics (this includes Biology, Chemistry and Biochemistry, Mathematics and Statistics, and Physics). Amala won a $1,000 fellowship!
