Dana Walters, who graduated in May 2015 with a B.S. degree in Geology, recently received a scholarship from the American Institute of Professional Geologists (AIPG) National Scholarship program. AIPG sponsors this highly competitive award as part of their mission to advance the geosciences as a profession. Dana’s winning essay, which was published in the July issue of The Professional Geologist, discussed the merits of geology as a meaningful career choice and explains how geology has a positive impact on our society. The scholarship provides financial aid to help cover academic costs for students majoring in the geosciences. Congratulations Dana!
