Congratulations Eastern Washington University student Ashley Destin! Ashley has been selected as an EWU McNair Scholar and awarded a summer research internship. McNair Scholars must have a GPA of 3.0 or higher, are first generation college students and low-income and/or underrepresented students, and are selected for their promise as scholars and commitment to attaining a PhD. Ashley's passion is animal care with a focus on house cats. She is beginning research into the evolution of domesticated cats in comparison to larger cats. In the past, she volunteered in a small veterinarian clinic, working closely with surgeries and animal husbandry. She is pursuing a PhD/DVM dual degree. Ashley will work with mentor Dr. Judd Case as a part of her 2020 EWU McNair Summer Research Internship.
We're so excited to have Ashley join us as a McNair Scholar!
