Tayo Sanders and Dr. Jennifer Dahl
Rhodes Scholar Tayo Sanders II and Dr. Jennifer
Dahl are shining examples of student-faculty
collaboration research here at UW-Eau Claire.
“UWEC's emphasis on undergraduate research has
developed my ability to draw connections between
material learned in my courses and their applications
to the real world,” says Sanders.
Dr. Dahl received the $50,000 Regent Scholars Award
and Sanders received the Rhodes Scholar award for
their joint research on Janus nanoparticles.
