Master of Health Physics student Trang Marquez wins HPS Dade Moeller Scholarship

IIT Master of Health Physics student Trang Marquez was awarded one of this year’s Health Physics Society (HPS) Dade Moeller Scholarships. Her scholarship includes $2,000 to apply to her graduate studies, and another $800 to use toward her attendance at the 2014 HPS Annual Meeting. Her particular scholarship memorializes Kelly Austin who managed the Dade Moeller Training Academy. Marquez is currently employed at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance as lead nuclear medicine/positron emission tomography/computerized tomography technologist.

According to Health Physics News, Dade Moeller & Associates sponsors the HPS Dade Moeller Scholarship program through funds donated to the Society’s Dade Moeller Fund. The late Dade W. Moeller, the company’s founder, was an active member of the HPS and served as its president in 1971. The Dade Moeller Fund was established by the company in 2009 to honor Moeller’s deeply held belief that continued education, sharing of knowledge, exposure to new ideas, and strong professional relationships are essential to an individual’s career success. In addition to the scholarship, the fund sponsors the HPS Dade Moeller Lecture Series.
