Louie Named First Recipient of Cohon Fellowship

CEE graduate student Stacey Louie has been named the first recipient of the Jared and Maureen Cohon Graduate Fellowship in Civil and Environmental Engineering, established through a generous gift by President Jared Cohon and his wife Maureen Cohon. This fund, managed by the Steinbrenner Institute for Environmental Education and Research, provides fellowships to graduate students in engineering in the Carnegie Institute of Technology, with first preference given to civil and environmental engineering students specializing in environmental engineering.

Ms. Louie started her first year of graduate study in CEE this fall after completing her undergraduate degree in Chemical Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. Her graduate research at Carnegie Mellon will focus on environmental implications of nanotechnology under the guidance of faculty advisor Professor Greg Lowry.
