LAAS graduate student Jennifer Nicklay recently received the Louise Dosdall Fellowship, which supports women graduate students in any field of the natural or physical sciences who show exceptional promise for a successful career in research. Louise Dosdall entered the University of Minnesota in 1912 and completed her PhD here in 1922. An expert on mushrooms and ornamental plants, she taught plant pathology at the University for 41 years and established the fellowship in her will.
