October 27, 2018

MIT-WHOI Joint Program student Genevieve Brett (second from left) receives the 2018 George “Gera” Pavlovich Panteleyev Award, awarded to the graduating student, elected by students and faculty, who exemplifies commitment to improving the graduate education experience and student life at WHOI. It honors the memory of Panteleyev, an MIT-WHOI graduate student admired for his dedication to research and enthusiasm for graduate student life. He was engaged in his master’s degree research as chief scientist of a research cruise on the Ob River in Siberia in June 1995, when he was swept overboard and lost.
