By Natasha Janes CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY - Two Campbellsville University students, Margaret Blaire Bland of Campbellsville, KY, and Cameron Campbell of Columbia, have received a grant from the National Science Foundation presented by the Appalachian College Association The scholarships offered consist of $6,000 per academic year per student studying the Natural Sciences, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics, also known as STEM, majors. Bland, a senior, is studying biology, and Campbell, a senior, is studying chemistry. Dr. Richie Kessler, associate professor of biology and environmental studies program coordinator, said, "I have had Blaire Bland as a student and she was also my Freshmen Year Experience mentor for freshmen science majors. Blaire has been a delight to work with in both capacities. She is a very mature and conscientious student and works well with her faculty and fellow students. Blaire also served as president of our national science honor society, Sigma Zeta, last year." Campbell's adviser, Dr. Chris Mullins, assistant professor of chemistry, said even though Campbell hopes to attend medical school after graduation, Mullins "secretly hopes he will keep a career in chemistry as an option."
