PULLMAN, Wash.Washington State University neuroscience undergraduate, Alexandra Bond, has been awarded this year’s $1,000 Peter A. Zornes scholarship.
Bond is an outstanding student from Canada and a former member of the WSU Women’s Crew Team. An avid photographer, she also is active in several different community services in Moscow, Idaho, and Pullman, Wash.
Currently, Bond is conducting undergraduate research into the behavioral changes seen with cocaine abuse and their causative mechanisms. Her undergraduate research mentor is Associate Professor Heiko T. Jansen in WSU’s veterinary college. It was the combination of her academic ability, community service and research accomplishments that made her competitive for the Zornes scholarship.
Zornes was a native of Oakesdale, Wash., who was 25 when he was killed in December 2005. He was an innocent victim of a double murder-suicide. He is remembered for his kind nature toward others, incredible academic skills and love for golf. Zornes friends and family have worked tirelessly to keep his memory alive in the spirit he would have wantedthrough an academic scholarship and a memorial golf tournament.
The Zornes family gladly presented the check for $1,000 to Bond in Peter’s memory.
