Juniors Mason Rhodes, Spencer Thompson and Siddharth Venkatraman continue a tradition that extends over 10 years as Creighton can lay claim to the most Goldwater Scholars produced by a Catholic university and a place among the top 25 private universities producing such scholars — joining the ranks with Harvard, Princeton, Stanford and MIT.

“Creighton University is deeply committed to undergraduate research, which is evident by the immense success we have with the Goldwater Scholars Program,” said Julie Soukup, PhD, a chemistry professor and director of the Center for Undergraduate Research and Scholarship. “Creighton’s faculty-led research opportunities provide the perfect environment for students to grow and flourish as researchers and scholars. I am extremely proud of our three Goldwater Scholars, who have the potential to succeed not only in scientific research, but to shine as leaders.”
