The air at Lone Star College-Kingwood became a bit cleaner as a new policy that prohibits smoking cigarettes on campus was instituted this semester.

Entering Lone Star College-Kingwood in 2007, Andrew Robinson only wanted to think about one thing: getting his associates degree and attending the University of Houston. His thought was soon interrupted as he became involved in programs and organizations around campus, notably the Ambassador Program. He will be able to use that experience in an internship at Disney World.

Selected as one out of five American scientists invited to speak at a conference in Beijing, China proved to be quite an honor for Dr. Brian Shmaefsky, professor of biology and service learning coordinator at Lone Star College-Kingwood.
