Kelley Watson Fellowship

The Kelley Watson Fellowship, formerly known as the Dean's Fellowship, recognizes a student who - although not supported by an SMS fellowship - exhibits academic excellence and leadership in the core courses during the first year of graduate study. The fellowship is named in the memory of Kelley Watson, a member of the incoming class of September 2000, who impressed her teachers and fellow students with her enthusiasm, commitment to academic excellence and strong promise for a successful marine science career.
