Correction
Due to information supplied to the Sartell-St. Stephen Newsleader, the time of the Sartell Memorial Day Service in Sartell was incorrect in the May 19 edition of the paper. The correct time of when the ceremony will start is 9 a.m. Monday, May 29. It will take place at Veterans Park on Riverside Avenue N. just north of the Riverboat Depot Bar and Restaurant. All are welcome to attend.
Correction
The story “Sartell residents disagree with the council on honey-bee ordinance” in the May 19 edition of the Sartell–St.Stephen Newsleader requires a correction. The Sartell City Council voted only once to nix an amendment that would allow the keeping of honeybees in the city. That vote occurred at the council’s April 24 meeting.
Ellen Bloom, a 2013 Sartell High School graduate, was recently awarded a Gore Biomedical Engineering Graduate Fellowship from the University of Delaware, Newark. In addition, Bloom has been selected an awardee of a Biomedical Engineering Chair’s Fellowship. Both are merit-based competitive fellowships.
The Gore Biomedical Engineering Graduate Fellowship was established by Mr. Robert W. Gore, who served as president of W.L. Gore & Associates Inc., to support cutting-edge biomedical engineering research conducted by talented BME graduate students. Being named a Gore Fellow is a prestigious honor at the University of Delaware, as only three incoming graduate students in the College of Engineering receive a Gore Fellowship each year.
The Biomedical Engineering Chair’s Fellowship is awarded to recognize exceptional academic excellence and research potential in a first-year biomedical engineering graduate student.
Bloom graduated May 12 from the University of Minnesota College of Science and Engineering with a degree in biomedical engineering. She will attend the University of Delaware this fall as a member of their doctoral program.
