Allegra Mayer, STEM Scholar, STEM Scholarships's Inaugural Year

STEM Scholarship Recipient, 2010

Allegra Mayer, WCAS '13, Integrated Science Program*

Allegra is one of three women remaining in her class in the rigorous Integrated Science Program. Before coming to Northwestern, as a German student, she received an award of a trip to Germany. She returned with a new interest in alternative approaches to the use of resources and plans to use the interdisciplinary program to prepare the groundwork for future research in this area. Her efforts are not limited to the classroom. She is a student-athlete on the varsity women’s cross country team and was a volunteer with the Cherokee Nation as a participant in “Alternative Student Breaks” this spring.
