Ian Oas of Duluth and Danielle Wagner of Park Rapids are Recipients
Ian Oas of Duluth, Minnesota and
Danielle Wagner of Park Rapids, Minnesota were awarded the first Matti E. Kaups
Geography Scholarships at the University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD).
The scholarships are based on high academic achievement in the field of
geography, and overall scholarly performance.
Ian Oas displayed his proficiency in ethnic and cultural studies following
in the footsteps of his mentor, Professor Matti E. Kaups. Danielle Wagner
defined her interests in biogeography. Both students plan to pursue graduate
careers in geography, a goal that the Kaups Scholarships wish to encourage.
The awards were presented at the annual end of the year celebration hosted
by the UMD College of Liberal Arts.
