Several undergraduate students were highlighted for their participation in Notre Dame of Maryland University’s IMPRINT program during a celebratory event at Fourier Library last week.
Kelsey Bialozynski ’22, Eliza Davis ’25, Bethany Jessee ’25 and Erin White ’23 became the first four students to earn certificates in the program, which debuted last spring. They were also part of a group of 22 students who combined to earn over 90 badges during the academic year. IMPRINT is Notre Dame’s distinctive undergraduate Experience, designed to prepare students to lead in all aspects of their lives by building the confidence and courage needed to affect change.
The Henry Luce Foundation awarded NDMU $172,500 to support two full-tuition scholarships for women undergraduates in STEM for the next two years.
The Clare Boothe Luce Program for Women in STEM will provide scholarships to cover tuition, fees, and books for two highly motivated undergraduate juniors, starting fall 2022 through spring 2024. NDMU’s Clare Boothe Luce Scholars will be selected based on their potential for success in chemistry, mathematics, physics, and computer science, as well as financial need and leadership involvement.
NDMU was named to the 2022 Transfer Honor Roll as one of the nation’s best colleges or universities in developing strong pathways for transfer students to succeed.
Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, an honor society for associate degree students, selected 171 four-year colleges and universities for this year’s Transfer Honor Roll by evaluating 40 key metrics, including college cost and financial aid, campus life, admission practices, and bachelor’s degree completion. The Transfer Honor Roll represents the top 25 percent of colleges and universities from that evaluation.
NDMU's lacrosse and softball programs were heavily represented in the CSAC's end-of-year awards, with three Gators taking home major accolades from the conference. Sara Morales (Defensive Player of the Year) and Kari-Lei Berry (Coach of the Year) were recognized from the lacrosse team, which went 5-1 in conference games and advanced to its third-straight CSAC championship game, while Cheri Morin was named Coach of the Year for softball after leading the Gators to an eight-game win improvement from last spring.
Morales and Jade Stewart added first team All-CSAC accolades, while Sarah Generoso, Averee Radonovich and Brooke Siebert were second team honorees. For softball, Maci Lopez earned first team All-CSAC honors, Jessie Leatherwood and Bethani Newbold were second team selections and Ciarra Bockstie achieved honorable mention status.
