Maria Cosma and Maddison Rhoa have been named 2016 Paterno Fellows Best Thesis Awardees. Each prize carries a $500 award and the students will be recognized at the PFP Graduation Ceremony at noon on May 7. A faculty panel made selections based on the originality of the project, the rigor of the research, and the clarity of presentation.
Maria Cosma, ’16 PF Economics, won the Paterno Fellows Social Sciences Honors Thesis Award for “Capping Carbon: A Survey of Carbon Pricing Mechanisms and their Efficacy.” Maria’s photo is from her time as a Student Ambassador for the USA Pavilion at the World Expo in Milan.
Maddison Rhoa, ’16 PF English and History, won the Paterno Fellows Humanities Honors Thesis Award for “A Different Familiar: A Novel.” Maddison is shown with a statue of the Irish writer Oscar Wilde in Galway, Ireland, where she studied abroad.
