The College of Health & Human Sciences at Purdue University is now offering the Rose Marie Pangborn Sensory Science Scholarship in honor of the memory of Professor Rose Marie Pangborn, who initiated the scholarship fund to encourage the education of Sensory Scientists intending to pursue academic careers. Students, who are enrolled in a Ph. D program such as Food Science, Nutrition, Psychology or Physiology, are eligible to apply for the scholarship. The purpose of the program is to support a Ph.D. student who intends to teach and conduct research in the area of sensory science at the University level. The winner of the sensory science scholarship will receive $15,000 for the academic year.
The College of Health and Human Sciences at Purdue University launched on July 1, 2010. The realignment of nine academic units into a new college is linked to Purdue’s strategic plan, “New Synergies,” which strives to elevate Purdue’s reputation in the health and human sciences. The plan focuses on positioning the university to meet the challenges facing humanity, growing and creating opportunities for Indiana and the global economy, and enhancing student learning for success in a changing world.
