2024 Scholar Seminar/Brunch

The WEAA January 6, 2024 Scholar Seminar was held at the Evanston Library and our brunch at the Evanston Corner Bistro Restaurant. These events gave board members and scholars an opportunity to spend some time together and reinforce relationships. We thank our Scholar Engagement Committee for organizing both events and Tracie Thomas for honoring us with a great presentation.

Scholars on the Move

Isabella Socci


Isabella will be interning at Amazon this summer in Seattle as a Software Development Engineer Intern. She's a Matriculate fellow, involved in robotics and NUSTARS, and is hoping to start on research this spring or fall.

Anita Bassey


Anita is currently interning at Abbott Laboratories and has had an amazing time so far. She works on the formulation and diluent team under Research and Development. Her project is testing the bulk stability of immunoassay diluents, and determining which properties of formulations are more stable to mechanical stress than others. She has been at Abbott for two and a half months now but feels as though she's been there for years with how much she has learned. The company has an amazing climate, and every new person she meets is so open to getting to know her as well as providing advice for her future goals. She looks forward to the rest of her time there, and hopes to get as far as possible with her project. 

Thekra Alkadee


Thekra is working on getting an internship/research experience with Dr. Ragy, working on ancient Arabic manuscripts over the summer. She is also working on a project where she will be leading a summer python boot camp for girls 6-12th grades!
