St. Louis Public Radio talked with Kevin Cox Jr., a biology and chemistry alumnus, who landed a million-dollar fellowship to fund his work as a plant science fellow at the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center. The Howard Hughes Medical Institute awarded Cox the fellowship, and he will use it to research how and why plants are susceptible to diseases.

The Riverfront Times featured Robin Kimberlin, director of student social services, and her efforts to create the Triton Pantry. The pantry opens twice a month for students to pick up fresh and shelf-stable foods as well as personal-care items.

St. Louis Magazine did a Q&A with senior English student Emily Delgado, who started a vintage clothing shop. Delgado’s love of thrifting led her to start Thin Thrift, which specializes in clothing from the ’80s and ’90s.
