The ¾¨Ó㴫ý Drinko Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning awarded an undergraduate research grant to Michelle Johnston, a ¾¨Ó㴫ý senior biology major.

Johnston is a daughter of Ray and Kimberly Johnston of Beaver Falls and a graduate of Blackhawk High School. 

"An important component of the work of the Drinko Center is to enhance opportunities for undergraduate research," said Dr. Terri Lenox, ¾¨Ó㴫ý associate professor of computer science and co-director of the Drinko Center.
