The endowment supporting this award was established by Margo and Tom Wyckoff. Both have collected many accolades throughout their impressive professional careers. Margo earned a BA in history from UW, in addition to an MSW and PhD in Psychology. Tom received a BA in Art and Archeology from Princeton and completed his MD here at UW. They are delighted to fund a graduate award in the Life Sciences, feeling that the research conducted under the auspices of the excellent faculty will extend the benefits of scientific inquiry and discovery well beyond our PNW region.
