The Mary Chambers
Brockelbank Scholarship was awarded to Derek Schutt.
Derek is a doctoral student in geology who loves both teaching and researching. He is passionate in his study of large geographical phenomena, their origination, and their seemingly unrelated geographic effects -- such as lava flows hundreds of miles away. He looks forward to continuing his research and teaching geology.
The Everett Del Monte Scholarship
was awarded to two undergraduate students and one graduate student
who have demonstrated outstanding academic progress. The undergraduate
recipients are Adam Farley and Valerie Wills. Adam
recently earned a B.A. in Spanish,
and he is working on a second in mathematics
with plans to pursue a doctorate in the field. He is a teaching
assistant for a UO mathematics course, and he is involved with
mathematics peer advising. Valerie is an English major in the
UO Honors
College and a writing tutor for students in a modern novel
class. She plans to pursue a graduate degree in English.
Graduate recipient and doctoral candidate Janne Underriner
has started an accomplished linguistics career. She is working with the Klamath Tribe in southern Oregon to restore the dying indigenous Klamath language and to help tribal members learn it well enough to teach it to future generations.
The Arts and Sciences Scholarship
was awarded to Kathleen Anne Wiberg-Rozaklis. This scholarship
is made possible by annual gifts to the CAS scholarship fund,
and it is augmented by unrestricted gifts. After running a private
kindergarten enrichment group and teaching preschool in order
to support herself, Kathleen returned to college last fall. She
is majoring in geography and plans to pursue graduate work in the same field, possibly involving resource history and development issues.
Joseph Boland was awarded
the Risa Palm Graduate Fellowship, which supports outstanding
graduate CAS scholars. A database analyst and consultant at one
time, Joseph is pursuing a second career in political
science. He is currently working on his dissertation, which discusses the Cold War political history of regulatory risk analysis (RRA). Once he completes his study of RRA, Joseph looks forward to teaching.
The John and Naomi Luvaas
Graduate Fellowship was established last spring to recognize
the importance of graduate education. It was awarded to Susan
Lea Stairs. Her doctoral study in comparative
literature focuses on tenth- and eleventh-century Japanese poetry, and provides an East-West comparison of the role of subjectivity in court literature. Susan looks forward to teaching college-level classical Japanese and Old French.
The Susan A. Winn Memorial
Scholarship was awarded to Sarah Schmeck (not pictured),
an undergraduate majoring in biology.
She plans to pursue medical school and become a surgeon. She was
also awarded the Robert D. and Opal Clark Scholarship for outstanding volunteer and scholastic achievement.
