Udall Scholarship

Today I got a happy e-mail from Doug congratulating me on winning the Udall Scholarship, a federally funded award for environmental leadership. It includes a stipend for graduate school and a 4-day trip to Tucson, Arizona at the beginning of August to meet the other scholars. That promises to be a really wonderful experience; I will meet a lot interesting people who I (hopefully) can work with as I embark on my post-Grinnell career adventures. Many thanks to everyone who reviewed my essays and wrote my letters of recommendation: my mama, Doug Cutchins, Shannon Hinsa, Steve & Teresa Paul, Jon Andelson, and the Truman nominee crew of Caitlin, Winnon, and Jakob.
