  • 2024 Carrie Wilson Memorial Scholarship Recipient - Emily Summers

    2024 Carrie Wilson Memorial Scholarship Recipient - Emily Summers
    Aug 13 2024
    Welcome to a Bonus Pelecanus episode where we highlight the 2024 recipient of our Carrie Wilson Memorial Scholarship, Emily Summers, a graduate student with Project Dragonfly. Emily has done great work already and we're very proud to award her this scholarship. Carrie R. Wilson was a staple of the community of San Diego for the last 50+ years. Carrie believed in community inspiration through direct and intentional action. Pelecanus would never have come to fruition without Carrie, and the same can be said for so many people throughout San Diego. As the Dean of Students of the University of San Diego Law School, she was able to make a lasting impact on thousands of students' lives. Carrie asked us to let anyone looking to honor her memory know that she hopes they would make a "heartfelt gift to make the world a better place." She simply hoped for her legacy to be one of paying it forward. We aim to award this scholarship to students who embody the Pelecanus mission of demonstrating optimism through science and align with Carrie R. Wilson’s passion for education, charity and service. The Carrie Wilson Memorial Scholarship will be open for applications for project dragonfly students again in the Spring of 2025, check our Pelecanus.org scholarship page for more information. Pelecanus is a 501C3 non-profit organization that takes tax deductible donations. You will also find a link to the donate button on our website if you’d like to contribute to the Carrie Wilson memorial programs or to Pelecanus in general.
