The Graham Scholars Program is designed to provide enrichment opportunities for undergraduate students to participate in cross-disciplinary action-based learning experiences domestically and overseas that are focused on critical environmental sustainability issues. In its inaugural year these scholars are examining the engineering, biodiversity, economic, and social issues associated with expanding hydroelectric power in southern Chile. Classes in Ann Arbor in the fall and winter terms will be augmented by a ten-day field trip to Patagonia to see first-hand the people, geography, promise, and challenges poised by this technology. These 18 students were selected from a pool of 63 strong applications based on their professional goals, academic accomplishments, and work experience.
