OUR SUCCESS STORIES

  • Julia Cook smiles and holds a camera

    Julia Cook

    Larsh Bristol Fellowship Recipient

    Bears capture the imagination of people all around the world. The connections between humans and nature - and bears' place in nature - draws countless people to wildlife preserves and parks each year.


    One University of Wyoming student had the opportunity to explore this connection further through the lens of a camera last year in Wyoming and Alaska. Julia Cook, a history and environment and natural resources major, and the recipient of the Larsh Bristol Photojournalism Fellowship, spent summer and fall 2022 photographing grizzly bears to document their unique connection to humans and the civilized world.


    But Cook, who grew up in Cody, Wyo., didn't originally consider photography seriously as a hobby or career goal until 2020. See page 14 in Elevations for the full story.

    Dillivan Receives Prestigious Truman Scholarship

    Grant Dillivan, a recent UW graduate from Powell, is the recipient of a prestigious Truman Scholarship. He is the first UW student in 15 years to receive the premier graduate scholarship for aspiring public service leaders in the U.S.

    Dillivan is among 60 exceptional college students from 54 U.S. colleges and universities selected as 2024 Truman Scholars. Scholars demonstrate outstanding leadership potential, a commitment to a career in government or the nonprofit sector, and academic excellence. Each Truman Scholar receives funding for graduate studies, leadership training, career counseling and special internship and fellowship opportunities within the federal government.

    “Receiving the Truman Scholarship was a mixture of emotions. I felt great joy at having received this major scholarship, unlike any award I’ve ever earned,” says Dillivan, a 2020 Powell High School graduate. Read more here.
