Congratulations to Stewart Clark, recipient of the 2007 W.G. Characklis Award. This award is made each year to the Ph.D. student who best exemplifies the spirit of cooperation, research leadership, and collaboration within the CBE.

In the spirit of cooperation, whenever there is a need for volunteer work within the CBE, Stewart is there. He has assisted with the CBE’s undergraduate core course and has been on the seminar organizing committee. Whenever there is a need for someone to assist with social functions, the TAC meetings, or other activities, he is there. During the recent laboratory space swap, he was tireless in organizing and coordinating the move and also did a great deal of the work.   He has been a key player in the organization and proper functioning of the CBE’s molecular biology facility. He gives freely of his microbiology and molecular biology expertise to everyone within the organization and is always willing to take the time to train anyone who needs assistance. All of this is done with a sense of grace, style, and sincerity that is unequalled.   W.G. Characklis Scholarship
