Biology major June Y. (Austin) Moon has been awarded the Virginia C. and Herschel V. Clanton Jr. Scholarship, for a top pre-medical student in the College of Sciences. Moon participates in undergraduate research with the School of Biology’s Yuhong Fan, in whose lab he studies differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells.  He served as treasurer of the American Red Cross Club at Georgia Tech and is now the advocacy coordinator of the American Medical Student Association at Georgia Tech. A total of six undergraduate awardees in the College of Sciences were announced at the College’s Advisory Board meeting on April 22, 2016, by Associate Dean for Academic Affairs David M. Collard.

Moon was honored along with the five other undergraduate awardees in the campus-wide Student Honors Celebration on April 20, 2016. “That event is an important opportunity in the academic calendar year to recognize the outstanding accomplishments of our students,” says Associate Dean Collard. Moon also joined the College of Sciences Advisory Board Members, Dean Paul M. Goldbart, and guests at the College’s awards presentation and lunch on April 22.

“Introducing our award winners to members of our Advisory Board is a particular honor,” says Associate Dean Collard. “It is something I look forward to each year.”
