Ian Hill, a junior in the Chemistry Honors course, has been selected to participate in the Tulane Science Scholars Program this summer. He was chosen from a pool of applicants currently in the 10th or 11th grade and selections are based upon a student essay, a teacher recommendation and a school transcript. Ian was recommended by Mr. Peter J. Valiente ’79, Chemistry Instructor/Science Department Chair.
