2015 Undergraduate Research Fellows have been selected!
We are really excited about the group of 4 Clemson undergraduate students who have been selected for the 2015 class of Prairie Ecology Fellowships. They bring a diverse set of life experiences and interests to what is sure to be a great year spent learning about and experiencing the Montana prairies!
Annie Carew
Annie Carew is a North Carolina native majoring in Environment and Natural Resources at Clemson with a concentration in Conservation Biology. She will graduate in 2016 and plans to pursue a Master's Degree in Applied Ecology. In addition to conservation biology, Annie likes books, films, and cats.
Marilyn Jackson
Marilyn Jackson is a sophomore undergraduate studying animal agribusiness at Clemson University. During her current studies, she spends time handling and studying species such as swine, beef cattle, dairy cattle, and poultry. Marilyn also is minoring in Spanish. She is a member of the Poultry Science Club.
In the future, Marilyn wishes to study conservation ecology, focusing on habitat conservation for endangered feline species. Her goal is to work to rebuild disappearing ecosystems in order to create a conducive environment for dwindling populations, resulting in the release of cats living in captivity.
Matt Nelson
Matt Nelson is a senior undergraduate studying Wildlife and Fisheries Biology at Clemson University. Throughout his studies he has worked with Dr. Susan Loeb studying bat species of the southeast. During this work he conducted an individual study on the terminal-phase calls of bats to determine if they were an adequate means of indentification. Matt is currently the Vice-President of Finance for CLEMSONLiVE, the university's student programming board that plans free events for all students. He hopes to further his education in graduate school by studying conservation biology and traveling the world to study the many ecosystems that have been endangered by human actions.
