| Matt McMahon and
Jesse Hunting were two of the University's six student nominations
for the Morris K. Udall Fellowships. Both were winners of this nationally
prestigious award, an amazing accomplishment—Penn State ranks
with Yale as the top winner of these awards and our students comprise
half of those.
Terri Gamble and Jeanine Patterson received invitations
to interview with the Garden Clubs of America in Cleveland and were
subsequently named winners of Katherine Grosscup Scholarships.
On campus Kristy Gerlich and Vanessa Rutter were
successful winners in the Annual Green Design Conference Competition
and Sunshine Cheng was a category winner in the Annual Graduate
Exhibition for her thesis "GIS for Sense of Place." Michael
Rossetti won an Institute for Arts and Humanities Graduate Student
Residency for this summer 2002 and was able to enjoy mixing with
faculty in one of our flagship "think-tanks" here on campus.
The Center for Watershed Stewardship received
a Governor's Award for their work on the Maiden Creek Watershed
Conservation Plan, directed by director Lysle Sherwin, associate
director Andy Cole and with additional leadership from associate
professor Ken Tamminga. |
Tamminga was also
part of a group coordinated through the Studio for Creative Inquiry
at Carnegie Mellon University that received a Governor's Award for
their work on Nine-Mile Run in Pittsburgh.
Professor George Dickie was honored to be chosen for the site selection
and design of a memorial plaque in Constitution Gardens in Washington,
D.C. in honor of those who fought in the Vietnam war and have since
lost their lives to Agent Orange. |
