Senator Charles J. Fuschillo, Jr., R-Merrick, recently congratulated Mepham High School science student Corey Wald on being named a national semifinalist in the 2013 Intel Science Talent Search.
“Through countless hours of hard work, study, and research, along with guidance from his teachers, Corey has earned a place among the nation’s top young scientists,” Fuschillo said. “This is the first of what I’m sure will be many incredible achievements by an incredible young man. I congratulate Corey and wish him all the best in the future.”
The Intel Science Talent Search is the nation’s most prestigious pre-college science competition. Participants come from all across the country, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands to compete in the program. Corey is one of only 300 semifinalists chosen from entries nationwide.
In addition, Senator Fuschillo presented Corey with a copy of a legislative resolution which was recently passed by the Senate in honor of his accomplishment. With passage of the resolution, which Senator Fuschillo sponsored, Corey’s name and achievement will forever be part of the New York State Senate’s official record.
