UMD Faculty awarded NSF grant

A National Science Foundation Grant for $750,000 was recently awarded to professors Arshia Khan (Computer Science) and Anne Hinderliter (Chemistry and Biochemistry), both from UMD, and Sherri Turner (Educational Psychology) from UMTC for "Networking and Computing: Scholarships and Support for Computing Students." Most of the funds support students from groups that are under-represented in STEM fields, with the goal of helping them graduate and move into successful careers.
