Bauer '08 named AA Scholar-Athlete
Swimmer Grace Bauer ’08 (right) was honored by the Alumnae Association with this year’s Scholar-Athlete Award. A chemistry major and swim team captain, Bauer was recognized as a superior athlete within the NEWMAC Women’s Swimming Academic All-Conference Team, and set twenty-five swimming records in her fours years at MHC.
Bauer also received the Louisa Stone Stephenson Prize in 2007 for outstanding work in chemistry, as well as an undergraduate award for achievement in organic chemistry from the American Chemical Society in 2006.
Said Swim Coach David Allen, “Grace has been a leader within the team as a captain, within the department as a Student-Athletic Advisory Committee representative, and within the chemistry department, serving on faculty-selection committees and as a peer mentor. She is a well-spoken representative for the college and our athletic department, and is deserving of the Scholar-Athlete Award.”
