2006 Scholarship Recipient
Tracy Kerchkof, of Roseville, Michigan, is a Biosystems Engineering student at Michigan State University. Her professional interests include soil and water conservation engineering and animal waste management. She served as a full time engineering intern for 8 months with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Detroit District, during the summer and fall of 2004. This past summer she worked full time with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service, in Indiana and plans to return for a second season during the summer of 2006. She will complete her Bachelor of Science in Biosystems Engineering in May 2007.
She received the Clarence and Thelma Hanson Scholarship Award for scholarship, leadership, and service to the Biosystems Engineering profession in the spring of 2004 and 2005. She has been on the MSU Dean’s List every semester and has maintained a cumulative grade point average of 3.8/4.0. Tracy is a College of Engineering Ambassador and is a member of the Liberty Hyde Bailey Scholars Program.
Along with attending Michigan State University full-time, Tracy is assisting Dr. Tim Harrigan, of the Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering Department, with research on issues such as how cropping and nutrient management impacts soil and water quality at the field and watershed level. Outside of school, she enjoys cycling, hiking, and reading.
As she stated in her application essay: “My long term plan is to find a place to work that is challenging and dynamic enough to devote myself to for a long period of time. I believe that working in outreach and working directly with landowners to help them with land use and other natural resource issues will offer me this challenge.” Whatever she does, she would like to keep her focus on natural resource conservation in agricultural watersheds.
