| | | | | | The University of California, Davis, has named Nicole Sitkin - a former Campolindo High School student - as this year's University Medalist. The University Medal is awarded for excellence in undergraduate studies, outstanding community service and the promise of future scholarship and contributions to society. After earning a bachelor's degree in neurobiology, physiology and behavior in December, Sitkin is now working at the university's School of Medicine, already making contributions to medical research and helping address disparities in health care, especially for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) populations. She will be presented with the award, including a plaque and a $2,000 honorarium, at the commencement of the College of Biological Sciences on Friday, June 14. Sitkin said she dedicates herself to whatever she does and works hard. "It's the price you pay," she said, "but you get to do something amazing with your life."
