Two St. Lawrence University students have been awarded an Angelo Tagliacozzo Memorial Geological Scholarship. Johanna Palmer '09, of East Meredith, NY, and Michael O'Connor '09, of Rouses Point, NY, were among five students awarded scholarships; 14 applied.

The scholarship, awarded by the Northeast Section of the American Institute of Professional Geologists (NE-AIPG), is one of the few specifically offered to future geologists by practicing geologists. The principal aim of the program is to offer financial support to current junior and senior undergraduate geology students and to encourage serious and deserving students to continue their studies in the geological sciences.

Palmer is a geology major, with a minor in anthropology. She is studying at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand, for the spring 2008 semester.

O'Connor is majoring in environmental studies and geology, with a minor in music. He is studying in Australia for the spring 2008 semester.
