VALDOSTA — 美高梅博彩’s 梅根·斯莱特 recently received the 2018 Student Leadership Award from the American Chemical Society.
来自瓦尔多斯塔的化学专业学生斯莱特预计将于2018年秋季毕业，他是全国15名入选该奖项的学生之一。 The accolade recognizes her as an emerging leader with “tremendous potential” in the field of chemistry.
“It was extremely validating to be chosen,” said Slater, president of the vs上 chapter of 美国化学会学生会员. “I have put a lot of time and effort into my student chapter and into the American Chemical Society in general. Receiving this opportunity meant the American Chemical Society saw the potential in me to become an even greater leader in my community.”
获得该奖项的同时，斯莱特有机会参加1月份在德克萨斯州达拉斯举行的2018年美国化学学会领导力研究所。 在那里，她参加了领导力发展课程，并与其他学生领袖建立了关系。
“This experience gave me the opportunity to network outside my typical community,” she said. “Not only did I connect with the other student leaders, but I also met staff members and even the directors of the American Chemical Society. There were a lot of resources offered that I have been able to pass on to my members to help advance their academic and professional careers.”
In addition to her work with the 美国化学会学生会员, Slater serves as vice president of vs上’s Genders and Sexualities Alliance and works in the 学术支持中心 — formerly known as the Student Success Center — as a general chemistry tutor and a supplemental instruction leader. 她曾在化学系仓库工作过两年。
斯莱特是泽尔·米勒学者和瓦尔多斯塔·诺伊斯学者科学教师准备和保留项目的参与者。 她计划最终教高中化学。
Slater performed paid organic research in Summer 2016 with Dr. Jenny Baxter-Vu, a former vs上 professor. 自2017年春季以来，她还与美高梅博彩化学教授托马斯·曼宁博士一起进行了研究。
斯莱特建造了一个远程操作的车辆，并安装了传感器来收集温度、pH值和其他水质的数据。 She presented the research at the poster session of the 2017 vs上 本科 Research Symposium and at the 2017 Southeastern Regional Robert Noyce Connections Conference in Mobile, Alabama. She is continuing the research in 2018 by adding new wireless sensors with the ultimate goal of creating an activity for middle and high school students.
2017年秋天，斯莱特还与其他化学专业的学生合作，开发了一种合成石墨烯的新方法，并为其申请了专利。石墨烯是迄今为止发现的最坚固的材料。
“Megan has very good grades, excellent research and work experience, and a long list of community service activities,” said Dr. Linda de la Garza, associate professor of chemistry and faculty advisor of 美国化学会学生会员 at vs上. “She is off to a great start as a leader, and her interests and abilities should be fostered.”
