Seven William Jewell College students have been selected to receive Oxbridge Student Grants for summer studies ranging from music to molecular biology.
During the eight-week program, each student will work in a concentrated area of study with a faculty member in a specific discipline. The Oxbridge Honors Program is William Jewell’s renowned academic honors program incorporating British tutorial style instruction with a year of overseas study in Oxford or Cambridge. It is funded by the Hall Family Foundation.
The students and their areas of study are Claire Buddenburg of Omaha, Neb., music, emotion and health; Stephanie Hull of Liberty, Mo., consent and compensation; Christopher Koehn of Marshall, Mo., plumbagin and papamycin in autophagic cell death of glioblastoma; Kelly Roark of Springfield, Mo., fat/CD36 expression in vascular smooth muscle cells; Heather Swadley of Shawnee, Okla., equality without ethics; Trista Turley of Troy, Mo., an examination of President Harry Truman’s decision to recognize the state of Israel; and Jenni VanAusdall of Kansas City, North, the effect of melatonin on apoptosis-induced ARPE-19 cells.
William Jewell College is committed to bringing together talented students and gifted faculty mentors within a vibrant community sparked by a rigorous and intentional liberal arts curriculum. A full range of personal and professional development experiences are presented by the selective national liberal arts college’s location within the Kansas City metroplex of more than two million.
