Nursing alum receives prestigious McElroy FellowshipLuther College alumnus Duong Truong has been named one of two recipients of the 42nd annual McElroy Graduate Fellowships, one of the most competitive academic honors in northeast Iowa. The McElroy Graduate Fellowship provides $36,000 over three years to support graduate study. “While all of our potential candidates for the McElroy Graduate Fellowship have high GPAs in challenging academic fields, Duong stands out due to his extensive independent research experience in both nursing and religion,” Chamberlain said. “I also want to thank Professor (Molly) Wilker and the undergraduate research program for the generous research grants. The McElroy Trust’s benefactor, Ralph J. McElroy, was a pioneer broadcaster who founded the Black Hawk Broadcasting Company in 1947.
