Alumna Receives Scholarship at University of Michigan

Berenice (Alex) Cabrera – one of our SFSU Biology alumni for both undergraduate and graduate biology programs – has been offered a full-ride scholarship for graduate studies in Higher Education at the University of Michigan this August.

While an undergraduate biology major at SFSU, Alex was a student leader through the SFSU SEPAL Spectrum Program: Building Pathways to Biomedical Research Careers for Girls and Women of Color, which was funded by the NIH. She then returned to complete her MS in Biology at SEPAL, studying biology students’ experiences with advising and office hours in our department.
