Conrad Connections
Conrad's Annual Biotech Fair
The Conrad Schools of Science Biotechnology Fair provides Biotechnology II, III and IV students with the opportunity to present their findings through research and experimentation to the scientific community. The Biotech-2's created tri fold posters and portfolios and presented topics that represent the latest techniques scientists use today in the field of biotechnology. The Biotech-3’s and 4’s presented the findings they collected from their own experiments. These students had the opportunity to design and plan every detail of their research.
Rho Kappa Spring Spirit Week
Last week students and staff participated in a Spring Spirit Week led by the Social Studies Honor Society, Rho Kappa. The members of Rho Kappa were inducted in a ceremony on Thursday night.
Congratulations to Lilian Villec!
Lilian applied for acceptance into the CIEE (Council on International Educational Exchange) Japanese Language & Culture program in Tokyo, Japan. She was lucky enough to be awarded a scholarship through the CIEE sponsored Global Navigator Scholarship fund. Acceptance into the program and scholarship funds were awarded to applicants based on merit, need, grade performance, and an essay submission. Lilian is so grateful to not only have been selected into the program but to have also been awarded a scholarship that covers 1/4 the cost of the program. Without this help, she may not have been able to go. She will spend 4 weeks in Tokyo from July 6th to August 2nd with a host family. She will be immersed in the language, be able to eat traditional meals, and participate in daily cultural activities. She will also be able to go on weekend excursions throughout the country. By participating in a language program, students have the option to gain a college credit. Congratulations, Lilian! Are you interested? It's not too late- deadline is April 10th. See info above in upcoming events section.

Studying Sociology at the Mall
Doing research for their curriculum, students photographed examples of gender with the objectives of (1) assessing the impact of socialization on both the individual and society, (2) analyzing social stratification and the causes and consequences of classifying people by race, ethnicity, and gender, and (3) analyzing personal reactions to sociological concepts, principles, and processes.
