• Nary Touch (Grade 7) won an Honorable Mention.

• Nary is a student of Southwest English teacher Bethanie Glaser, and previously, on Wed. Nov. 30, 2011 evening, with her mother in tow, Nary came to UMKC and interviewed Dr. Swati DebRoy, one of the new UMKC Department of Mathematics and Statistics female mathematics faculty members, whose interest is in the interface of mathematics and biology. This interview was used for a 500-1000 word essay for Nary to submit to the AWM contest, which she learned about from information distributed to Southwest in mid-October by Dr. Delaware.
