Carson Scholars: Promise for an Environmentally Vibrant and Just Future In honor of the vision created by Silent Spring author Rachel Carson, the Carson Scholars Program supports graduate student research and trains scholars to discuss their environmental studies in a way the public finds compelling. The program continues to build a network of students and faculty who push the bounds of knowledge and understanding of our
natural environment. The program is funded by IE, Biosphere 2, the UA Renewable Energy Network, and private donations. In addition, this year, four students were appointed Carson-Haury Scholars through the generosity of the Agnese Nelms Haury estate. Three of those scholars and one Carson alumnus are highlighted on the following pages.
