Angela Myracle mentors two CUGR students

The University of Maine’s Center for Undergraduate Research (CUGR) has announced the recipients of the Research and Creative Activities Fellowships for 2016–17.

The fellowships were developed to enhance and increase undergraduate student involvement in faculty-supervised research and creative activities, and are supported through the office of the Vice President for Research.

Each fellowship provides a $1,000 award for the student to help cover costs of their project.

Results of the research projects and creative achievements will be presented to the community Monday, April 24, 2017 as part of the UMaine Student Research Symposium.

Two of the student winners will work with faculty mentor Dr. Angela Myracle on the following projects:

  • Grace Scott of China, Maine, chemistry, “Phenolic Compounds in Maine Coast Sea Vegetables”
  • Hannah Harling Stefl of Syracuse, New York, human nutrition, “Exploring the Nutritional Value of Carrots and Determining Attributes that are Favored by Consumers”
