Dr. Grace Muna, our analytical chemist, has had a remarkable year - and it is only half over. She got a break from teaching in the spring, which we call a sabbatical, to dedicate time to her research which was performed at Dr. Matthew Champion's biochemistry lab at the University of Notre Dame. The fruits of this labor are already ripening as the skills she gained there are being passed on to her summer research students here on our campus. During this time she also received her dues for past research efforts with two articles published in peer-reviewed journals (see #1 and #2). However, the most exciting event this year for Muna is that she was promoted to [Full] Professor, which is the final academic rank (after the entry level Assistant Professor and intermediate Associate Professor ranks). Congratulations, Dr. Muna, for all the achievements you have received this year! You can learn more about Muna in the article below from our campus newspaper, The Preface.
