SCRANTON — Tara Zukosky, of Wyoming, was among 28 members of The University of Scranton’s Class of 2019 who graduated from its undergraduate Honors Program, one of the Jesuit university’s programs of excellence. Students in the Honors Program pursue a rigorous education that stresses independent work through close engagement with professors and other honors students, including the preparation, presentation and defense of a research or creative project during their senior year.
Zukosky worked with Maria Squire, Ph.D., associate professor of biology, on a thesis titled “The Effects of the Absence of Neuromedin U (NMU) or Neuromedin U Receptor 1 (NMUR1) on Murine Bone Quantity and Morphology.”
Zukosky, who graduated cum laude, majored in biology.
