Recent Awards
Brooke Anderson White, PhD, post doctoral fellow in the Bogyo Lab was recently awarded a Knights Templar fellowship. The Knights Templar is a Christian oriented fraternal organization and is the culmination of the York Rite of Freemasonry. This fraternal organization does not claim to be a direct descendent of the ancient order founded in the 11th century but their service in these times reflects the virtues of the Valiant Knights and serves those in need today through charities and support of higher education.
