Pelecanus Radio

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
