The Department of Plant Pathology was able to select three graduate students to receive Charles J. Gould Graduate Student Travel Awards of $500 each. Recipients are Brian Freeman, Zhihan Xu, and Jackson Moeller. All three students will use these funds to attend scientific conferences: Brian and Zhihan will attend the APS Meeting in San Diego and Jackson will travel to Italy to attend the IS-MPMI Congress.
The Charles J. Gould Graduate Student Travel Award in Plant Pathology is funded by a gift from Mrs. Charles J. Gould in honor of her husband, who received his Ph.D. from ISU in 1942. He spent his career studying diseases of horticultural plants. The department is very grateful to Ms. Gould for her generosity.
The award is open to all graduate students in the department and is for travel that furthers their professional development. Recipients are selected based on need and the benefit to their professional development. Preference is given to travel not normally supported by the usual departmental, university or grant sources.
