Chantal McLellan of Lewiston is one of nearly a dozen Assumption College students who have found summer jobs without leaving campus in Worcester, Mass.

The undergraduates are conducting or assisting in research related to their majors. Funding for their paid summer research positions comes from academic department budgets, the Assumption honors program or from competitive grants awarded to faculty.

McLellan, a junior, is working in a laboratory to synthesize several natural products with anti-tumor properties.
