Article about first-gen student success
Colton uses his knowledge and life experience to help others succeed in higher education

Colton Baumler, a PREP@UC Davis alumnus and graduate student in UC Davis' Biochemistry, Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology program, received the College of Biological Sciences Dean's Mentorship Award in Spring 2022.  What's more, the quiet, self-effacing, and publicity-shy Baumler was featured as part of an article on first generation college students in the Fall 2022 issue of a UC Davis publication, In Greater Focus.

Thanks to Professor Crystal Rogers -- another first-gen college grad, by the way -- for recognizing Colton's dedication to mentoring the next generation of students. Most of all, congratulations and a HUGE thank you to Colton!
