ECU Department of Geography, Planning & Environment

Here is the second of our two Senior Spotlights:

Dani will graduate with a Bachelor's of Science in Geography and has been accepted to participate in the 2023 Geography Education Networking Initiative for Underrepresented Scholars (GENIUS), hosted by Penn State.

We are proud of your accomplishments and can't wait to see what you do next.

Graduation is around the corner and we are excited to share our first of two Senior Spotlights and to celebrate our soon-to-be graduates and their accomplishments!!

Millicent will graduate with a double major, earning a Bachelor's of Science in Community and Regional Planning & Geography!

"My interest in Geography is how the land is used. I want to help make land usage be the most sustainable and efficient for everyone. I hope to go to grad school and then work with the federal government."

We are proud of you and can't wait to see what you do next.

Jessica Richter, ECU Department of Geography, Planning & Environment master’s alum, was a 2021-22 NC Space Grant - North Carolina Sea Grant Graduate Research Fellow. Richter used remotely sensed data sources to generate maps that capture estuarine shoreline erosion of the Neuse River Estuary.

Richter notes in an NC Space Grant student blog that this fellowship provided her with the opportunity to refine in-demand skills such as remote sensing data processing and analysis and science communication. Read more about her research and experience: https://ncspacegrant.ncsu.edu/2022/07/18/mapping-north-carolinas-vulnerable-estuarine-shorelines/

If you're interested in research like this, apply for the 2023-24 NC Space Grant - NC Sea Grant Graduate Research Fellowship! There are many research areas students can focus on in this fellowship using NASA and NOAA data and tools. Applications are due by 5pm on March 31!
