Thumbs up to Rachel Mole, a Jamestown native who graduated magna cum laude from The College of Wooster and who won the 2017 Ernest B. Yeager Award, an annual honor given to one undergraduate in the northeast Ohio and northwestern Pennsylvania region by the Cleveland section of the American Chemical Society. Mole, a chemistry major, was rewarded principally for her senior independent study titled “Investigation of Antidepressant Load Reduction Following Tertiary Wastewater Disinfection Treatment.” Mole presented the work at the annual Conference on Spectroscopy and Analytical Chemistry in May while winning first prize at Wooster’s Independent Study Symposium. Outside of academics, Mole excelled on the tennis courts, earning five all-North Coast Athletic Conference honors (three in singles, two in doubles). She set a school record for career doubles wins at the No. 1 position with 37. Mole will continue her studies this fall at Baylor University in pursuit of a Ph.D. in environmental science.
