Senator Charles J. Fuschillo, Jr., R-Merrick, recently congratulated Sanford H. Calhoun High School Senior Emma McNamara on being chosen as a national semifinalist in the 2013 Intel Science Talent Search.
“Emma has earned an incredible honor and achieved something of which she should be very proud,” Fuschillo said. “After dedicating so much of her time, energy, and effort to her research project, she has earned a place among a very elite group of young men and women. I congratulate Emma on this remarkable achievement, which I am sure is only the first of many more to come.”
Participants from all across the country, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands compete in the talent search, considered the nation’s most prestigious pre-college science competition. Emma is one of only 300 semifinalists chosen from entries nationwide.
Senator Fuschillo presented McNamara with a copy of a legislative resolution which was recently passed by the Senate in honor of her accomplishment. With the passage of this resolution, sponsored by Senator Fuschillo, Emma’s name and achievement will forever be part of the New York State Senate’s official record.
