>It is my great pleasure to announce that the founder and former

>Scholar, receiving two fully-paid years' worth of tuition and 
>incidental expenses to study at the University of Oxford.

>Between spending a semester in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of 
>Antarctica, being the youngest researcher invited to Utah's 
>research-based Mars Station, and biking across the North American 
>continent, Kate managed to find enough time to maintain a 3.95 GPA, 
>work in UNC professor Dr. Teske's microbial ecology lab, and, of 
>course, create UNC's greatest student-run space-education 
>organization. (Speaking personally as SpaceTalk's webmaster, I can 
>tell you that 98% of what you see on our 
>website--www.spacetalk.info--is also entirely to her credit.)
