After John Spencer’s 2016 death, his family and friends worked to establish a graduate fellowship in his name that provides a research assistantship to students in the master’s in ecology or conservation ecology and sustainable development degree programs who are interested in pursuing careers in management and conservation of aquatic ecosystems. A new gift hopes to continue Spencer’s legacy.
