The University of Northern Colorado honored top undergraduate scholars March 9 at the College of Natural and Health Sciences Undergraduate Academic Scholar Award ceremony. Ashley Wathier - granddaughter of Don and Aurie Black and Nick and Mary Wathier of Arvada - was named one of the top students in the dietetics program. She is a 2005 graduate of Standley Lake High School.

Program scholars were chosen by faculty based on outstanding scholarship, leadership, and demonstrated promise. Nearly 50 scholars attended from the college's six academic schools: Biological Sciences; Chemistry, Earth Sciences and Physics; Human Sciences; Mathematical Sciences; Nursing and Sport and Exercise Science.

The College of Natural and Health Sciences is proud to applaud this student's hard work and the faculty's commitment to student achievement.
