Ecology and Environment, (E & E), has established an annual Award Fund in Rick Morse’s name which is managed by the Adirondack Research Consortium. E & E is a global environmental consulting firm that has worked on some of the most complex, high-profile projects in the world, helping clients address the leading environmental challenges of our time. Rick was a valued member of the E & E family with deep experience in environmental policy, a strong commitment to building more resilient communities, and a special place in his heart for the Adirondack Region. You can help keep Rick’s vision and passion for the Adirondacks alive by helping to fund this scholarship program in his name.
Through the Fund, $500 awards will be given annually to a student from the Adirondack Region who is studying at one of the colleges/universities in the Adirondack Region that shares the passion Rick had for environmental policy, music, and/or outdoor activities in the Adirondacks. The Award will be announced at the Annual Conference on the Adirondacks held each May in Lake Placid, NY. Over $5,000 has been raised through E & E employee donations and has been matched by the company bringing the Award Fund total to just over $10,000.
