Borgeson Scholars program kicks off
A new partnership between Grand Valley State University and Grand Rapids Community College is giving two chemistry students a life-changing opportunity to conduct paid research and prepare for careers in the sciences. The pilot program, made possible by a generous donation from Clark and Nancy Borgeson, was created specifically for GRCC students. The program offers hands-on research, professional development and financial support — and both institutions hope to make it a permanent, endowed opportunity. Starting last May, chemistry students Marcos Conde and Dylan Serie began working alongside a GVSU faculty member in a laboratory setting. In addition to research, they attended weekly development activities to learn how to write up and present their research. At the end of the program, the students presented their work at the GVSU’s Student Scholars Summer Showcase.
