Molly Shea
A junior from Delaware, Ohio, Molly received a 2009 Morris K. Udall honorable mention, a $350 award. Molly is a member of the Ohio Student Environmental Coalition, Student Sierra Club, and the Green Network.
Molly sees the value of her award not in terms of personal achievement but rather in how it underscores the causes to which she is dedicated. “I think receiving this honor is a sign of what is to come and I am excited the Udall Foundation sees value in the environmental and social justice movement,” she said. After graduation, she plans to work as a community organizer and pursue a graduate degree in environmental sociology.
