The Oregon NASA Space Consortium has awarded Pacific University biology student Jordan (Bruno) Gegenhuber a scholarship of $8,000.

"I enjoy both the process of research and scientific discovery as well as providing medical care to those in need,” he said. "Receiving the Oregon Space Grant Scholarship is such an incredible honor and has greatly impacted my life. Not only has it allowed me to continue my education at Pacific and keep my sights on graduate school, but it has motivated me to continue setting excellence as the standard, wherever my endeavors lie.”
