I'm pleased to share the good news that Sarah Bleakney, undergraduate major in Geography, has received an Ernest F. Hollings Undergraduate Scholarship from the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).  This prestigious award provides two years of financial support for Sarah's undergraduate work in geography and a research internship in summer 2014.  So she will conduct research in Costa Rica this summer as an NSF REU student, and research with NOAA next summer!

But there's more!  Sarah also applied for and received a NASA internship.  She couldn't fit that one into her schedule so had to decline, but still an honor and WOW is all we can say!  Good thing we convinced Sarah to major in Geography instead of Global Studies, given all these great opportunities that have come her way!

Congratulations to Sarah!

 

Sincerely,
