Wendy Graham Memorial Scholarship
The Wendy Graham Memorial Scholarship is made possible by an endowment created by Wendy's former employer, Exponent, a science and engineering analysis consulting firm, and many donations from SMEA alumni and faculty. Wendy, a graduate from the class of 1989, was a star student, a Knauss Sea Grant Fellow and a recipient of the McKernan Thesis Award. The scholarship is to provide assistance to students in the School of Marine and Environmental Affairs to further their educational and professional development. The scholarship is used by students to attend and present at a professional conference in the field of marine and environmental affairs.
