Cassandra Goudreau of Woodstock, Illinois, a recent graduate of Woodstock High School, has been admitted to the University of Illinois Springfield for Fall Semester 2023 and awarded a $36,000 Capital Scholars Honors Program Scholarship for tuition over four years. At UIS, she plans to major in marketing.  

The scholarship is awarded based on high school GPA and can be renewed for a total of four years if the student maintains college GPA requirements.

University of Illinois Springfield Emeritus Professor of Biology Michael Lemke has led the publication of a special issue of the scientific journal Microbial Ecology. The April 2023 edition explores the role of microbial genomics in restoration ecology.

Lemke and Rob DeSalle, curator at the American Museum of Natural History’s Sackler Institute for Comparative Genomics, proposed the topic and served as guest co-editors for the special issue. Lemke also serves as a research associate at the museum.
