This year, the Department of Planetary Sciences/Lunar and Planetary Laboratory was proud to recognize and award three graduate students for their efforts toward service and outreach, which includes attention to broader impacts and involvement in activities outside of academic responsibilities that benefit the department, university and the larger community:

• Melissa Dykhuis: OSIRIS-REx 321Science! project
• James Keane: The Art of Planetary Science
• Jamie Molaro: The Art of Planetary Science

In addition to being the departmental nominee, Melissa was also nominated for the college-wide outreach award.

Thanks to Melissa, James, and Jamie for their outstanding efforts in presenting science to a broader audience in 2014!
