About the Award
The Richard and Annette Wohl award was established in 2025. This fund provides research support to a graduate student whose proposal demonstrates an environmental sustainability connection to their proposed research. It was established in honor of Ellen Wohl’s parents, Richard and Annette Wohl; the intrepid explorers who nurtured her curiosity and encouraged her appreciation of ecology. “They raised me to ask questions, investigate the outdoors, and do all the things natural scientists do,” Ellen says.
