Williams 8th grader Michelle Marsden was nominated and accepted to the Blank Summer Institute for the Arts and Sciences at the University of Iowa in Iowa City.

Michelle has been selected for the Math Problem Solving class and was awarded an $850 Myron and Jacquelin Blank Scholarship. Out of all the nominees, only 15 students were selected for the math class.
