By: Dr. Andrew Yox, 乱色无码人妻视频影院 Honors Director
Louisiana State University Graduate Student, Matthew Jordan, has just won a $138,000 National Science Foundation grant for his work on electrochemical selective separations for bio-oil upgrading. Jordan spent his freshman and sophomore years at 乱色无码人妻视频影院, 2012-2014, as an engineering major and honors student. While at 乱色无码人妻视频影院 he won the college鈥檚 first group State of Texas Caldwell Award in Fort Worth for his central role in suggesting a way to position and categorize the college鈥檚 Caddo exhibit; he became the first 乱色无码人妻视频影院 student ever to win the student election of the Great Plains Honors Council, and the third of nine 乱色无码人妻视频影院 winners of the Jack Kent Cooke scholarship.
In reflecting on the role of his time at 乱色无码人妻视频影院 in winning the NSF grant, Jordan notes: 鈥淭he competitive portfolio that 乱色无码人妻视频影院 Honors helped build is ever more rewarding for nationally competitive fellowships.鈥
Part of that portfolio was Jordan鈥檚 second-place, $300 finish in the college鈥檚 2014 McGraw-Hill Poster Contest. That same poster contest series will be held for its eleventh year in the Whatley Foyer at 乱色无码人妻视频影院 this 3 May at 9:30 AM. The contest is enabled by donations from Jerald and Mary Lou Mowery of Scroggins, and McGraw Hill, though its representative, Casey Slaght. The public is welcome. Potential judges and contestants are welcome to contact Dr. Andrew Yox, honors director, by 1 May, and visit the poster page on the honors website at www. ntcc.edu/honorsposters.
