Congratulations to PhD student Missoury Lytle, who was the graduate student recipient of the 2022 Award of Excellence for the Advancement of Women, which was awarded by Clemson University’s Commission on Women. Check out her story here “Ph.D. student Missoury Lytle helps bring women together.”
Unfortunately, Missoury was unable to attend the awards reception as she was competing in the national championship for disc golf (where she finished 8th overall). I was honored to accept the award on her behalf.
