T-Duality in String Theory
Work by rising sophomore Alex Lundquist as part of the PRISM program (presented on campus). Alex learned the basic concepts of string theory (and many underlying physical concepts) and the syntax of the Mathematica computer algebra system, and then applied that knowledge to develop a set of Methematica functions for finding T-dual background geometries in string theory.

As a nursing assistant, Saginaw senior Taylor Boehler is finding ways every day to make a difference in people’s lives. Little did she realize that it also would change her own.
“I needed patient contact hours in order to get accepted to physician assistant school, so I started working at Masonic Pathways,” she says. “I ended up falling in love with working with geriatric populations. Honestly, if you would’ve told me in high school that I would end up in geriatrics, I would have thought you were nuts, but Masonic helped me find my niche.”
