The Joukowsky Institute is pleased to announce that we have awarded three undergraduate students grants to support their participation in field projects this summer.

“I know some things about the past, some things about the present, but I don’t know anything about the future — so here are some things that I learned and some things that I might use to look forward to the future.”
