Congratulations to Zoe Hutcherson for winning 1st place at the New Mexico Alliance for Minority Participation Symposium held at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, New Mexico! Her poster was titled “Range expansion of the non-native Mediterranean Gecko (Hemidactylus turcicus) across New Mexico and West Texas.” Zoe was one of a handful of ENMU students to attend and present alongside other universities across the state. She won a cash prize and an award, but most importantly, gets to claim bragging rights for the next year!

Additionally, Sebastian Summo Elias was just awarded an ENMU Graduate Student Research Award funds to support research projects. These funds will be used to screen additional snake samples for Snake Fungal Disease.

Congratulations to you both!
