Shane Digan Receives Award for Academic Excellence

2017 Nov 10

Shane Digan of Tivoli, NY, is the recipient of the college's Scholarship for Excellence in Water Resources, Geology and Earth Sciences, given each year to a student within the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences. Digan, who is pursuing a major in International Studies, was honored at the department's annual Majors' Night in October.

Now in its 41st year, Majors' Night offers the department's undergraduates the opportunity to network with alumni who return to campus for the event, where they share their experiences and offer advice to current students.

Made possible through the generosity of Arthur N. Palmer (emeritus faculty member) and Margaret V. Palmer (MS, Geology, 1976), the Scholarship for Excellence in Water Resources, Geology and Earth Sciences was established in 2007 as an incentive for students to continue their academic excellence in the fields of water resources, geology or earth science. These awards are given to promising scholars of sophomore or junior standing in these disciplines.
