<p>Michael Coughlin won 1 of this year’s 14 Churchill Scholarships to pursue graduate work in astronomy at Cambridge. Carleton was one of only two LACs to have winners this year.</p>
<p>He’s apparently “authored three and co-authored seven professional, scientific journal articles.” Sounds more like someone ready for a tenure track position after completing a post-doc than someone just finishing up a BS (and still has time to competitively dance!).</p>
