*2019 Dr. Averett Tombes Award
Adam Carpenter

*The Dr. Averett Tombes Award will be given to an Environmental Science and Public Policy Ph.D. student who best exemplifies the original goals of the Ph.D. program, which were to train individuals in environmental science and public policy such that they could help positively influence government actions in the environment. This award honors Dr. Tombes who, as Chair of the Department of Biology, originally proposed the idea for this degree, which was the first science Ph.D. at George Mason University.

* The programs and services offered by George Mason University are open to all who seek them.
