A couple of months ago one of my students, Kathryn Theiss, received word that she'd been awarded a fellowship from the Robert and Patricia Switzer Foundation.
The goal of the Switzer Environmental Fellowship Program is to support highly talented graduate students in New England and California whose studies are directed toward improving environmental quality and who demonstrate the potential for leadership in their field. (source)The fellowships are highly competitive, and I am proud to be associated with Kathryn.1 I'm also pleased to point out that President Hogan mentioned Kathryn's award on his blog a couple of days ago. If you want to read more about what Kathryn's up to, check out this article on the web page of the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences.
1I can't take any credit for her success. She designed her whole dissertation project on her own, with me kibbitzing from the sidelines.
