First-year Student Wins Nock Scholarship

Case Western Reserve University named Zachary Galliger, a first-year biomedical engineering student, as the second recipient of the Douglas W. Nock Endowment Scholarship.

Galliger was elected president of Spectrum, the university’s undergraduate gay-straight alliance, for 2011-12. He assisted in planning the Candlelight Vigil against LGBT bullying, and assisted in planning the Drag Ball. Additionally, Galliger appeared in The Chronicle of Education about his experience at CWRU as an “out” freshman.

“My life has been made easier through the efforts of others,” Galliger wrote in his application. “Now I want to help make the lives of others even better.”
