Five students received the Hogan Book Award for First-Generation College Students in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics.)
The award, sponsored by faculty members Kelly and Brian Hogan in the College of Arts and Sciences, in partnership with Pearson Education, will provide first-generation college students with the textbook for the introductory course for biology, physics and chemistry free to the students. The price of textbooks for STEM courses are often very high and can be a barrier in particular for first-generation and low-income students.
Kelly Hogan is a senior STEM lecturer and the director of instructional innovation in the College. Brian Hogan is a research assistant professor in the department of chemistry. The Hogans are both recipients of numerous teaching and community service awards.
Inaugural recipients of the award are Brandon Carpenter (biochemistry, class of 2018), Cherrel Manley (chemistry, class of 2018), Chuyin Fan (biology, class of 2016), Brianna Albritton (biology, class of 2018) and Atemnkeng Forwang (chemistry, class of 2017). Manley and Carpenter are Chancellor’s Science Scholars.
