2009 Class of DNA EpiCenter Scholars

Convocation Thursday, June 11


Please join us for cocktails and hors d'oeuvres on Thursday evening, June 11, 2009, 6:00pm at the DNA EpiCenter as we celebrate the great accomplishments of our honorees.

Honorees are Dr. Frank Maletz, Congressman Joe Courtney, Dr. Toni Hoover, Debra Pasquale, and former Congressman Rob Simmons.

Without these individuals, the DNA EpiCenter would not have the opportunity to provide cutting-edge, biotech and forensic science education to teachers and students of southern New England. The DNA EpiCenter continues to be recognized as the pre-eminent, hands-on, inquiry-based, bioscience educational facility in New England. This convocation will recognize individuals who have supported our mission, “To promote the understanding of the science of life to people of all ages”, and will serve as a fundraiser in support of the advancement of elementary science education.

In particular, this summer we will launch the L.E.T.S. Explore! Camp (Little Engineers, Technologists, and Scientists Explore!) and A.B.C.’S. in the Lab Camp (Analytical Biology & Chemistry Science in the Lab) for campers ages 5 – 8.

The event will begin with a reception at 6 p.m., followed by the convocation at 7 p.m. Visit www.dnaepicenter.org for more information.
