Congratulations to our Morgan L. Williams Scholarship winners!
The Morgan L. Williams Scholarship Fund was started in 1981 in honor of Dr. Williams who was an active member of the Washington Chapter for more than 40 years, and served the Chapter in many capacities. Scholarships are awarded yearly to DC area students majoring in one of the "science or engineering disciplines dealing with metals and materials." Funds are raised from special Chapter activities and from donations.
2016 Valencia Danner
Ms. Valencia Danner, a senior at the University of Maryland, College Park, was selected as the 2016 recipient of the ASM DC Chapter’s Morgan L. Williams Memorial Scholarship for Undergraduate Students. Ms. Danner is an active member of the UMD Materials Engineering Society, Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Society, Society of Women Engineers, and Engineers Without Boarders. She has worked with UMD faculty on research projects to fabricate graphene films for lithium-ion anodes, and intends to continue onto graduate to pursue her PhD. Congratulations to Ms. Danner and we look forward to seeing her at an upcoming meeting!
