MU EPSILON REPORT
Lumberton HS Receives DNA Kits
Lumberton High School’s Science Department recently received DNA test kits through a $1240 grant received by Mu Upsilon Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma Society International. The MiniONE gel electrophoresis kits are being used by small groups of students to explore principals of biology and the scientific method, specifically to test for simulated genetic disease, to discover genetically modified genes in food, and to analyze a simulated crime scene.
Mu Upsilon member Susan Letourneau wrote the grant application for the project which was funded by the Alpha State Texas Educational Foundation of DKG-Texas. ASTEF is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization created for the purpose of providing funds for activities promoting educational excellence for Texas students and the professional and personal growth of women educators in Texas. Mu Upsilon is grateful to ASTEF for grants in past years that have benefited students and teachers in Lumberton, Kountze, Silsbee, and Evadale.
