UW Students Wins New GLC Fellowship

A Wisconsin Sea Grant-supported graduate student has been selected for the inaugural Great Lakes Commission-Sea Grant Fellowship.

The new fellow, Lisa Koch, will spend this year working at the Great Lakes Commission offices in Ann Arbor, Mich., on a variety of commission projects and assisting with its intergovernmental relations efforts.

Koch is a graduate student in the UW-Madison Dept. of Wildlife Ecology and is also pursuing certification in geographic information systems (GIS). Her Master’s degree research is examining the chronic effects of toxic contaminants on frog populations in Green Bay, Lake Michigan, as a research assistant on a UW Sea Grant-supported project led by Prof. William Karasov.

UW Sea Grant Institute Director Anders W. Andren, who nominated and recommended Koch, said, "There is no doubt in my mind that everyone involved will benefit" from her selection for the $38,000 fellowship.

The year-long fellowship was established last year by the GLC in partnership with the National Sea Grant College Program and the Great Lakes Sea Grant Network.
