Ms. Kristin Herrel Chosen as GT's Outstanding Scholar for 2012

Primary tabs

Ms. Kristin Herrel, one of our undergraduate majors, has learned that she is GT's University System of Georgia Outstanding Scholar for 2012.  

Only one student is selected from each of the 35 USG institutions each year, so this is really an outstanding recognition for Kristin to receive. I should note that Kristin is in pretty good company just within our School of Chemistry and Biochemistry, which has 4 majors and 1 dual major scheduled to graduate this spring who currently carry 4.0 GPAs.
