DAWN-IRES Scholar receives 2020 Chambliss Astronomy Achievement Student Award

DAWN-IRES Scholar David Vizgan is the recipient of the Chambliss Astronomy Achievement Student Award at the 235th meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Honolulu, Hawaii. David is a rising Junior at Wesleyan University, bestowed this honor for giving an excellent poster presentation on his work with DAWN faculty Prof. Thomas Greve. Vizgan was one of only 15 students selected out of a total of 355 applicants. In such a fierce competition, the DAWN-IRES Scholars Program truly represented. We had not one but two students acknowledged for their excellent research presentations: Darren Stroupe, a senior at UNC Asheville, also received an honorable mention in the 2020 competition. We are so proud of David and Darren, as well as the entire DAWN-IRES Scholars 2019 cohort!
