Five UW students to join Wyoming Wildlife Fellowship Program this fall

LARAMIE – Five incoming or current University of Wyoming undergraduate students are the latest cohort selections for the Wyoming Wildlife Fellowship Program, which supports students pursuing careers in wildlife and fisheries sciences.

The selected students are Robert Anderson, of Burlington, Ill.; Luke Hohn, from Cheyenne; Kelly Karnes, of Blanco, Texas; Jacob Love, of Edmond, Okla.; and Tavia Ossa, from Casper.

Over the next several years, Fellows will participate in a semester seminar about the wildlife field to learn technical skills or conduct research, hold two paid summer internships with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, and participate and volunteer for various relevant experiences and opportunities in the wildlife field. Fellows also receive a scholarship of about $3,000 each semester.
