Scholarship Honoring Anatomy and Physiology Education and Research

Scholarship information

When ASU students purchase the lab manual for their human anatomy and physiology courses at ASU’s Downtown Phoenix campus, they’re not only preparing themselves for success in the classes, they’re contributing to the success of their fellow students. The customized text, developed in-house by the faculty who teach the BIO 201 and 202 courses, not only costs less than a standard manual, the proceeds directly support ASU students pursuing their passion for science.

Co-authors Jeff Kingsbury, J.P. Hyatt, and Tonya Penkrot, in collaboration with then-lab manager Jennifer Legere, were driven in 2017 to create a manual that better served students and was in keeping with the teaching innovations that College of Integrative Sciences and Arts faculty have implemented in science courses. When the trio ditched the previous lab manual in fall 2017 for their co-authored alternative, they took the benefit to students to an even higher plane, deciding that royalties from the sale of their manual would establish the SHAPER (Scholarship Honoring Anatomy and Physiology Education and Research) Scholarship. This scholarship can be used for research, application fees, conference fees or other special educational opportunities in the realm of anatomy and physiology.
