In Memory of Amber Krenz

The memory of ENPH student Amber Krenz is honored by flowers on a picture placed in her honor. We are reminded of Amber's desire to make a positive difference in the lives of others by the generous support by her parents through the Amber Krenz ENPH scholarship (deadline 3/20/2007).

Dr. Pierce Honored

Dr. Pierce Honored Program Director Crispin Pierce was recognized as an expert in the modeling of human exposure to toxic substances by being invited to serve on the US EPA 2006 Science To Achieve Results (STAR) Program: Interpretation of Biomarkers Using PBPK Modeling grant review team. On January 12, this group of eight individuals nationwide traveled to Washington, D.C. to review and prioritize applications from prominent researchers to develop models of how the body absorbs, distributes, and eliminates toxic chemicals such as metals and pesticides. This participation also led to information about new job openings for ENPH graduate students.

SNEHA Marches in the 2006 Homecoming Parade

ENPH Students and faculty walked, drove, skated, and biked in this year's UW-Eau Claire Homecoming Parade on Saturday, Oct. 7. While giving out treats and chasing a big radio-controlled rat, Molly, Kendall, Mike, Megan, Samantha, Leann and Rick joined faculty members Bob Nelson and Crispin Pierce (and daughter Avala) to promote SNEHA and the ENPH major to hundreds of cheering students and families along First Ave. Support was provided by Marquart Toyota and Waste Management.
