STEM grad students sought for CarbonEARTH fellowships

1/30/13

The Penn State CarbonEARTH (Carbon Educators and Researchers Together for Humanity) program is seeking exceptional science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) graduate students for several $2,500/month National Science Foundation (NSF) GK-12 Fellowships, beginning Aug. 1.

Now in its second year, the CarbonEARTH Program pairs Penn State graduate fellows with elementary and middle school science teachers from the Philipsburg-Osceola Area and Harrisburg School Districts. Fellows bring their carbon-related research into school classrooms to enhance science teaching grounded in the interdisciplinary theme of carbon, broadly construed, as a unifying platform for investigation, discovery, training and education.

Daughter's love of travel inspires honors award in her memory

12/17/12

In 2010, Lisa Lotito spent the holidays a half a world away from her home outside of Philadelphia. As much as she missed being surrounded by family, she said her trip to Qatar was the gift of a lifetime.

Which is exactly what it was. Lisa, who at the time was in the midst of her junior year at Penn State as a member of the Schreyer Honors College, was the 2010-11 recipient of the Carey Lynne DeMoss, Esq. Memorial Award. The scholarship, awarded annually since 2007, honors the passion for travel and adventure of the 2003 Penn State honors graduate for which it is named.

It is a fitting legacy, say her parents, Lynne and Ron DeMoss. The DeMosses have recently committed an additional $25,000 toward the award's endowment with the hope that even more Schreyer Scholars will benefit from the travel grants.
