Announcements

Congratulations to HFA students Shalom Rottman-Yang and Jyotishka Biswas.
Their Siemens team project won Regional Finalists status, and they were one of 5 teams that competed in Atlanta. In January, they published a paper on their research, about which their research mentor Dr. Jay Dickerson, Associate Professor of Physics and Chemistry at Vanderbilt stated: "Jyoti Biswas and Shalom Rottman-Yang have had their first-author article, entitled Freestanding Carbon Nanotube Films Fabricated By Post-Electrophoretic Deposition Electrochemical Separation, accepted by the Journal of the Electrochemical Society.  This is an outstanding achievement for any student, let alone two high school students." These are accomplishments through the Vanderbilt School of Science and Math.

Also, congratulations to Shalom Rottman-Yang, Ben Rost, Joann Welch, and Fiona Sappenfield. They have been selected as candidates for the Presidential Scholar, one of the nation's highest honors for high school students. The U.S. Presidential Scholars Program was established by Executive Order of the President to recognize and honor some of our nation's most distinguished graduating seniors. Each year 3,000 candidates are identified based on having scored exceptionally well on the SAT or ACT. Detailed information on this prestigious program can be found at: http://www.ed.gov/programs/psp/index.html.
