Celebrating the Scientific and Scholarship Contributions of the RM-CESU Student Award Recipients, 2007 to Present

Each year the Rocky Mountains Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (RM-CESU) recognizes the outstanding accomplishments by our students. Our RM-CESU Student Award recipients have contributed to wetland monitoring protocols, oral history at parks, grouse conservation, and citizen science.  Many of our recipients have gone on to careers in federal service and academia. In this series we will be recognizing the work of our recent 2021 awardees as well as hearing from past recipients on their current contributions to science and scholarship.
