Poplar Bluff, Missouri - Graduating senior Katie Huskey has been awarded the $1,000 Dr. Michael D. Laseter Memorial Scholarship for Poplar Bluff High School.
Huskey, who plans on studying biomedical engineering at Columbia University in New York, wrote in her essay that she would like to marry her love of technology and her desire to help others by designing prosthetics to improve the quality of life for amputees.
Huskey is the 10th student to be awarded the Laseter scholarship since its inception. Dr. Laseter was a physician specializing in internal medicine at Kneibert Clinic for over 20 years. After retiring from medicine in 1994, he taught physiology at PBHS on a voluntary basis for five years.
