SPOTLIGHT 2000

Leigh Ann Higa is the recipient of the "Premier Graduate, 2000, UH Manoa Honors Program." Leigh Ann graduates with High Honors in Biology, but she also has a second major, English.

This talented student from Kalani High School won a Regent's Scholarship to attend Manoa, and her double major testifies to her versatility and broad interests. Along with the award from the Honors Program, she has also won a Barry M. Goldwater scholarship and was an Honorable Mention for a National Science Foundation Fellowship. Leigh Ann this fall will be attending the Yale Graduate Program in Pharmacology and Molecular Medicine, which allows students to earn both an M.D. and a Ph.D. On her decision to go to grad school on the east coast, Leigh Ann says, "One of the reasons that I chose to go Yale was that they give students a year to decide on the specifics of their studies in terms of one degree or two. Right now I am not sure about earning both degrees, but I am excited about being part of a program that offers such an opportunity."
