Melia Matthews, recipient of the Marlys Richman Memorial Scholarship in 2016, recently reached out to the Shasta Chapter CNPS to let us know that she had graduated and would soon be beginning a doctoral program.
The Scholarship Committee really knows how to pick them! Please read Melia’s graduation announcement to see how this outstanding young scholar spent her undergrad years.
Once the pandemic is over and we can meet again, Melia has agreed to come to a Chapter meeting and perhaps give a presentation on work she did on monkeyflowers.
Shasta Chapter CNPS congratulates Melia Matthews on her very successful first four years at university, and looks forward to seeing her again in the near future! ~Scholarship Committee
