morris k udall undergraduate scholarship for environmental stewardship
Oregon state sophomore earns prestigious award An Oregon State University sophomore from Creswell has been awarded a Morris K. Udall Undergraduate Scholarship for his environmental stewardship. Noah Strycker, a 2003 graduate of South Eugene High, is one of only Eighty students from Fifty nine universities and colleges across the nation to have been selected as a 2006 Udall Scholar.
Each scholarship provides up to $5,000 for one year. "Noah Strycker's awarding of the prestigious Udall Scholarship is evidence not only of his talents and potential, but the quality of his experiences at Oregon state University," said Joe Hendricks, dean of the University Honors College. Majoring in fisheries and wildlife sciences, with a minor in fine arts, Strycker has a burning passion for birds and spends much of his free time out of the classroom photographing, drawing, researching and writing about birds. After graduating from high school and before arriving at the university, he spent several months traveling to popular birding areas. He is an associate editor for Birding magazine, a columnist for WildBird magazine and a book reviewer for Birder's World magazine. He is also a field notes editor for Oregon Birds. |

In 2004, he was named Young Birder of the Year by the American Birding Association and his bird artworks have appeared in local, regional and national publications. "Noah obviously prepared the type of application and essays that caught the attention of the Udall Scholarship screening committee," Hendricks said. "He is one of only Nineteen sophomores to receive the Udall scholarship award, which should ensure that he moves on to make significant contributions to our understanding of environmental issues." Strycker became interested in birds while a 5th grade student at Oak Hill School in Eugene. "Our teacher would stop class whenever a cool bird showed up." |
Soon he was building birdhouses and putting them all around his home.
"I got bluebirds at our house and that got me very excited. I started my birding in my backyard and moved out from there."
The Morris K. Udall Scholarship and Excellence in National Environmental Policy Foundation was authorized by Congress in 1992 to honor Udall's legacy of public service, both as a congressman and a member of the Army Air Corps during World War Two.
