Bowling Green, Ky. - A Western Kentucky University sociology major has been selected for a National Science Foundation research program.

During this program, she will work one-on-one with a faculty mentor concerning her project; participate in methodology and statistics workshops, team meetings and colloquia; independently gather and analyze her data; use the data analysis to complete a peer reviewed paper; and deliver the paper in a professional-style presentation to peers.
