Hollings Scholarship from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).  He attended an orientation this summer, and will receive tuition stipends for two…

This semester, a troop of Gusties is trekking around Sweden under the leadership of Jeff and Maria Jeremiason.  On the trip are two Geo majors (and I hear rumors of a newly-recruited third??); below is a missive from Ruby Schaufler (Geology, ’17) and Lindsey Reiners (Geology, ’17).
