OHIO WESLEYAN STUDENTS NAMED TO 2009 ALL-USA COLLEGE ACADEMIC TEAMS
USA Today Honor Recognizes Outstanding Achievement, Leadership
Delaware, Ohio - Two Ohio Wesleyan University seniors have been selected as
members of USA Today's 2009 All-USA College Academic teams in recognition of
their "outstanding intellectual achievement and leadership." Selection
criteria for the national honor include "grades, leadership, activities,
and, most importantly, how students extend their intellectual talents beyond
the classroom."
Britta L. Buchenroth earned selection to USA Today's third team. She is one
of 20 college students nationwide chosen for the honor. Buchenroth of
Huntsville, Ohio, is a pre-medicine and zoology double major with a minor in
chemistry. After graduation in May, she will attend the Boonshoft School of
Medicine at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio.
Max R. Schroeder earned selection to USA Today's honorable mention team. He
is one of 19 students nationwide chosen for the honor. Schroeder, of Parma
Heights, Ohio, is a microbiology major and chemistry minor who plans to
pursue a doctorate in either environmental or medical microbiology.
As part of the All-USA College Academic Team application process, the
students were asked to describe their "most outstanding intellectual
endeavor and how it may benefit society."
For his essay, Schroeder wrote about the opportunity to work with Ohio
Wesleyan faculty mentors to conduct original research. As an undergraduate,
Schroeder has conducted extensive research into how bird feathers break
down, or degrade, with an eye toward avian evolution and health. He has had
one research paper published in a peer-reviewed journal and has two more in
process. As part of his research, he also discovered a new use for an
existing protein assay kit to allow faster processing of test-tube samples.
"Research into bacterial feather degradation has enabled us to greatly
expand our understanding of the evolution of bird feathers," Schroeder said.
"Additionally, basic research into feathers and their degradation may soon
contribute to a 'greener' method of poultry waste disposal. . Composting
feathers in tandem with feather-degrading bacteria is potentially more
energy efficient and less pollutive than current processes."
USA Today's All-USA College Academic Team awards program is open to
full-time undergraduates of at least junior standing at four-year
institutions in the United States or its territories. Criteria were
developed in consultation with the National Association of Independent
Colleges and Universities, the National Association of State Universities
and Land-Grant Colleges, the American Association of Colleges for Teacher
Education, the American Council on Education, and the Council for
Advancement and Support of Education.
Ohio Wesleyan University President Rock Jones, Ph.D., praised the seniors
for their scholarship and their humanity. "Britta and Max are shining
examples of what happens when students find their passions and pursue them
vigorously," Jones said. "At Ohio Wesleyan, we want all students to
experience their own 'ah-ha' moments - those experiences that will change
and shape their lives forever."
Ohio Wesleyan University is an undergraduate liberal arts college that
transforms the lives of its students through a combination of rigorous
academics, mentoring relationships, and real-world experiences. Featured in
the book "Colleges That Change Lives," the private university's 1,850
students come from 47 states and 50 countries. Visit www.owu.edu for more
