Morgan Gorris received a 2016 National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowship for her work on understanding the impact of climate change on the fungi that causes Valley Fever. As a part of her Ph.D., Morgan is investigating how drought and year-to-year variations in dust and water availability influence the dispersion of the airborne pathogen. The NDSEG Fellowship covers tuition and fees and provides a stipend for 36 months.
