The Cherng Summer Scholars program allows Honors College students at the University of Missouri to explore their passions through research projects aimed at questions they are interested in analyzing.

Students who are accepted into the nine-week program participate in projects that are individually designed, with the support and mentorship of a Mizzou faculty member.

At the end of the program, students present at the Summer Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievements Forum, hosted by the MU Office of Undergraduate Research. The forum gives each student the opportunity to showcase their discoveries.

This year’s CAFNR scholars include:

• Noelle Abend – Plant Sciences
• Blake Arciga – Biochemistry
• Kylie McHargue – Biochemistry, Ancient Mediterranean Studies
• Dustin Peters – Biochemistry
• Hannah Rice – Biochemistry
• Mackenna Rodgers – Biochemistry
