The Bayer for You (B4U) Mentorship Program connected McDonnell Scholars with Bayer Crop Science mentors for three months of leadership and career development.

On October 31, 2024, McDonnell Scholars visited Nestlé Purina’s St. Louis campus to explore leadership and innovation, including a corporate showcase, global strategy insights, and discussions with executives, emphasizing the translation of academic expertise into industry impact.

The McDonnell Academy takes pride in recognizing the outstanding accomplishments of McDonnell Scholar Allison Martinez Mejia, who continues to distinguish herself through remarkable academic and research achievements.

As a McDonnell Scholar at Washington University in St. Louis, I’ve been fortunate to be part of a diverse and supportive academic network.
