Gottshalk-Druschke Makes Big LEAP
PhD candidate Caroline Gottshalk-Druschke (English Studies, 2005) has received a National Science Foundation IGERT fellowship from the Landscape, Ecological, and Anthropogenic Processes (LEAP) Program at UIC. It is highly unusual for an English student to apply for – much less receive – an IGERT-LEAP fellowship. As explained on its website, "LEAP seeks to integrate a variety of scientific fields with relevant economic and social science disciplines to prepare students for careers in environmental science, policy, and conservation practice. With a focus on ecological and evolutionary processes in integrated human-natural landscapes, our students will develop new approaches to maintaining habitats and conserving biodiversity amidst human activities."
