Kellyn Patros, undergraduate chemistry student in the Hren Group, recently graduated from UCONN. At the chemistry department luncheon, Kellyn was awarded the  Roland Ward Thesis Award. Her thesis, titled “Climate and precipitation patterns in NE Spain during the past 65 Million years: A compound-specific stable isotope record”, was selected among 5 other highly qualified chemistry department candidates. She will receive a $500 scholarship and a plaque to be displayed in the department. In August Kellyn will depart from the Hren group to pursue her PhD in Physical Chemistry at Indiana University. Congratulations Kellyn!
