\"\"Monmouth University students Aidan Bodeo-Lomicky, Hannah Craft and Johanna Vonderhorst have been awarded the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration\u2019s (NOAA) prestigious Ernest F. Hollings Undergraduate Scholarship<\/a>. Each year, NOAA offers just over 100 of the highly competitive scholarships to students nationwide.<\/p>\n

The scholarship was established in 2005 in honor of Sen. Ernest F. Hollings, who was well known for supporting ocean policy and conservation. The Hollings Scholarship includes a two-year academic award, a paid summer internship at any NOAA facility nationwide, and funding for students to present their NOAA research projects at national scientific conferences. The scholarship is open to full-time undergraduates majoring in a NOAA mission field.<\/p>\n

Meet the newest Hollings Scholars below.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong>Aidan Bodeo-Lomicky<\/h2>\n

Year & Major:\u00a0<\/strong>Sophomore, Marine and Environmental Biology and Policy, Minor in Political Science<\/p>\n

What are your career goals?<\/strong>\u00a0After law school, I plan on working in the field of environmental law and policy, with a specific focus on marine and endangered species issues.<\/p>\n

What are your hopes for the experience as a Hollings Scholar? <\/strong>I hope to get an inside look at how marine policy is created and enforced by one of the world\u2019s premier agencies, as well as make lasting connections in the field.<\/p>\n

Where would you like to serve your summer internship? <\/strong>I would like to work with NOAA Fisheries, specifically with the Office of Protected Resources at the NOAA headquarters in Silver Spring, MD.<\/p>\n

Hannah Craft\"\"<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Year & Major<\/strong>: Sophomore, Marine and Environmental Biology and Policy and BS Chemistry Double<\/p>\n

What are your career goals?<\/strong> After Monmouth, I plan to serve two years in the Peace Corps working in agriculture or environmental needs. After, I will attend a graduate school and work for my master\u2019s. I hope to get a job in marine research studying invertebrates and how they are influenced and will adapt to climate change. I eventually will work for my Ph.D.<\/p>\n

What are your hopes for the experience as a Hollings Scholar?<\/strong> Not only do I hope to gain more knowledge about marine research and methods, but I hope to establish connections with scientists at NOAA who can help me reach my future goals. I also hope to establish friendships with other Hollings Scholars and build lasting connections with them.<\/p>\n

Where would you like to serve your summer internship? <\/strong>Anywhere on the ocean! I am looking for a lab that will relate to either marine invertebrates or climate change or both! I would like to go to the West Coast as that is where I would like to attend graduate school. I would also be interested in going to Alaska or the Hawaiian Islands.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong>Johanna Vonderhorst<\/h2>\n

Year & Major<\/strong>: Sophomore, Chemistry<\/p>\n

What are your career goals?<\/strong> After graduating from Monmouth, I anticipate attending law school to study environmental law. Following that, I hope to be able to practice in the expanding field of climate change law to seek justice for those impacted most heavily by the effects of climate change.<\/p>\n

What are your hopes for the experience as a Hollings Scholar?<\/strong> Through the Hollings program, I hope to gain valuable hands-on climate research experience that will provide me with firsthand information on the state of the earth\u2019s climate situation that I can carry with me into my legal career. If any research is currently being conducted by NOAA regarding methods of tracing carbon emissions to their original source, I would love to get involved with such a project, as one of the major barriers to climate justice cases is an inability to concretely prove direct causation based on the emissions of a specific entity.<\/p>\n

Where would you like to serve your summer internship? <\/strong>I would like to serve my summer internship with NOAA\u2019s Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research.<\/p>\n
