Lynne's leadership as the Founding Director of NSCS has been invaluable! Now in our eighth year, with the end of our first decade in sight, NSCS will continue for many more years thanks to the foundation Lynne has created.

After the first two brave souls graduated in 2012, there were 21 students in NSCS's first graduating class in 2013, again, all thanks to Lynne's vision and leadership!

For 32 years, Lynne's teaching, research, mentorship and friendship have touched many colleagues and a generation of students. If you are one of them, we hope you'll join us with a gift to recognize the impact Lynne has had on your life and your work.

49 percent of NSCS students are involved in community outreach. NSCS has always had a strong and tight knit community, but Lynne also emphasizes the importance of taking the things we learn in the classroom and in the lab out to be shared with the larger surrounding community.

Over the years, Lynne has mentored in lab research a remarkable 76 undergraduate students, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Those who she has mentored have continued to make their own impact in the field and through their mentorship of the next generation. Lynne's legacy will continue through them.
