* Hanna Kolodziejski Fellowship Nominations
The Department of Biology and the Center for the Integrative Study of Animal Behavior (CISAB) at Indiana University established a fellowship in Hanna's name in the spring of 2009. This Hanna Kolodziejski Fellowship is an annual award for a Biology or CISAB graduate student who shows academic talent in both research and teaching, while demonstrating a commitment to the community through community service or outreach programs. The fellowship is open to all CISAB and Department of Biology graduate students, with a preference given to members of CISAB and Evolution, Ecology & Behavior (EEB) students.

Faculty can nominate someone for each year's award, please send a letter of nomination to CISAB @ indiana.edu no later than February 10th, 2011.
