Above: Executive Vice President T. A. Pond, and J. R. Schubel, Director of MSRC congratulate Jeffrey Leslie upon being named the first Jessie Smith Noyes Fellow.
The Marine Sciences Research Center and the Stony Brook Foundation were recently awarded three Jessie Smith Noyes Fellowships for the support of outstanding graduate students enrolled in MSRC’s graduate programs in coastal zone management , marine environmental sciences, and coastal oceanography. Fellowship applicants should have adequate preparation and demonstrate potential to pursue innovative and independent research on some critical environmental problems of the coastal zone. Candidates are invited to submit brief proposals designed to answer specific and significant environmental questions. Awards will be based primarily on an assessment of the significance of the proposed research, and of the candidate’s ability to complete the research satisfactorily. Both pre-masters and pre-doctoral level students are eligible.
JEFFREY A. LESLIE was selected the first Jessie Smith Noyes Fellow. Mr. Leslie, son of Mr. and Mrs. Anthony F. Leslie of New City, New York, graduated from Hobart College (Geneva, New York) in 1974 with a B. S. in mathematics. He is in his second year of graduate study in our Marine Environmental Sciences Program, and is working closely with Professor ROBERT E. WILSON. Mr. Leslie’s research should lead to an improvement in our ability to predict the movement of oil spilled in the coastal zone.
