A Champion in Science and Basketball

Student-athlete Amaja′ Imani Mack is Wilmington University’s first graduate fellow. Enrolled in WilmU’s new Environmental Science program, which received a $30,000 graduate fellowship from NASA Space Grant, Mack works full-time on the University’s coral project while maintaining her academic and athletic career.

“Amaja′’s award suggests she is one of the leaders among her peers in science,” says WilmU Assistant Professor Dr. Milton Muldrow Jr., director of Natural Sciences and chair of Environmental Science and Biology. “She will be able to use this to set herself apart in the job market and any future educational endeavors she pursues. These awards are substantive and are a testament to how far WilmU has come in its science offerings.”

“Amaja′ has been with us for the last two years as a member of the women’s basketball team,” says Dr. Stefanie Whitby, director of Athletics and assistant vice president of Alumni Relations and Development. “She has been a model student-athlete, demonstrating tremendous work ethic and dedication, not only in the classroom but on the basketball court. We’re so happy to see her rewarded with this grant for her efforts and look forward to watching her flourish as she continues to work towards her graduate degree.”
