Sam Bottum, a graduate student in Jim Cahoon’s laboratory at UNC Chapel Hill and Integrations Thrust Coordinator, has been awarded one of the 2021 Student Undergraduate Teaching and Staff Awards (SUTASA). These awards were established in 1989 to recognize outstanding undergraduate teaching by faculty and teaching assistants.

Congratulations Sam!
