Rebecca Pilkerton was one of the two UMN nominees for the 2012 Wayne Duke Post-graduate Award. The award is a scholarship recognizing 1 male and 1 female Big Ten senior student-athlete persuing a postgraduate degree. Becca is a candidate for Summa Cum Laude honors with majors in Physiology & Biochemistry.

Congrats to organizers and lecturers for IBP's two Short Courses this January, "Advanced Cardiac Physiology and Anatomy" and "Anatomy and Physiology of the Pelvis and Urinary System"; they were sold out SRO show stoppers!

The Lifson/Johnson Memorial Award recognizes excellence in teaching by undergraduate or graduate students. IBP is giving two awards for 2011-2012. The first award is to Dalay Hirsch, an IBP graduate student who excelled as a TA in our undergraduate Physiology lab course (Phsl 3701).

The second award winner is Andrea A. Kerrigan, a student who has extensively served as a Teaching Assistant for IBP's very large undergraduate Physiology course (Phsl 3051).
