Steele Center Researcher Speaks at UA President's Club Luncheon in Phoenix
 The theme for this year's UA President's Club Luncheon in Phoenix was Destination: Discovery. Departments from across campus were invited to share how their work is impacting Maricopa County and beyond.
Steele Center PhD student, Raji Ramalingam (pictured here with UA President Robert Shelton) had the honor of being one of two students chosen to share about how Maricopa County has made a difference in their lives. Raji is the first Dorrance Fellow, a fellowship set up by Phoenix-area residents Jacquie and Bennett Dorrance. Because of their generosity, Raji has the opportunity to obtain a world-class education at the University of Arizona, and has been able to conduct research in pediatric gastroenterology where she has made groundbreaking discoveries.
