Cameron Tommey, a graduating senior EES major from Columbus, GA., has been awarded a Compton Mentor Fellowship that will allow him to pursue a yearlong project related to the environment following graduation. Cameron will use his $35,000 fellowship to implement a one-year project entitled, “Sustainability and Reforestation in the Comotan Region of Guatemala: A Community-Based Approach.”
The Compton Fellowship is the nation’s premiere post-graduate fellowship focusing broadly on issues of sustainability. At the core of the Fellowship is the partnership between a fellow and a mentor, who provides guidance, encouragement, and impetus for continued learning and service.
