Biology alumna Alice Trye ’15 has been named a Global Health Distinction Fellow by her M.D. program at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School.

Alice Trye, who graduated with a B.S. in Biology in 2015, is currently a first-year medical student at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School. She has been awarded a Global Health Distinction fellowship that will take her to Sierra Leone this summer for a project on surgical supply donations. Recently, Alice reached out to MMC Biology professor Dr. Ann Aguanno to say, “thank you for teaching me how to conduct research. Making posters and presenting really prepared me for med school and I didn’t have to go through a huge learning curve of learning how to make posters or being nervous about presenting my work.”

The Department of Natural Sciences congratulates Alice on this achievement!

Safety Precautions and Synchronous Learning: MMC Laboratories in the Time of COVID

As MMC worked to reopen its Main Campus for the Fall 2020 semester, the Department of Natural Sciences developed a plan to continue performing in-person laboratory courses while also accommodating remote learners. MMC’s science labs underwent extensive safety reinforcement to allow in-person students to participate in labs with their remote partners learning from home.
