2015 May 15

Sara Reese '16, of Midlothian, Va, is one of just 50 students nationwide to be awarded a Udall Scholarship in 2015.

The Udall Scholarship is awarded to college sophomores and juniors for leadership, public service, and commitment to issues related to the environment or to American Indian nations. The scholarship honors the legacies of Morris Udall and Stewart Udall, whose careers had a significant impact on American Indian self-governance, health care, and the stewardship of public lands and natural resources.

An environmental biology major, Reese has conducted research in Norway, Massachusetts, and Idaho. This summer, she will be researching marine ecosystems at Oregon State University. Reese plans to pursue a career in freshwater fisheries science and management.
