Dr. Björn Kjerfve, together with two Brazilian colleagues, won the first prize in the category "Ciências Exatas, Tecnologia e Informática" (Natural Sciences, Technology, and Information Science) in the annual Prêmio Jabuti book competition on 18 May 2003 at Bienal do Livro in Rio de Janeiro. The winning entry was Princípos de oceanografia física de estuários (Principles of physical oceanography of estuaries), by Luiz Bruner de Miranda, Belmiro M. Castro Filho, and Björn Kjerfve, published in 2002 by Edusp - Editora da Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, 414 pp. The award is the premier Brazilian book prize, awarded annually since 1959 by Câmara Brasileira do Livro in 17 different categories. Although most of the writing occurred during the past four years, initial plans were made already in 1984 when Dr. Miranda spent a sabbatical year with Dr. Kjerfve at the University of South Carolina. The first Prêmio Jabuti winner in the fiction category in 1959 was Jorge Amado. |

Patricia Kearney, MSCI junior, is the first recipient of the Traci Heincelman Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship is awarded annually to an outstanding MSCI major in memory of Traci Heincelman, who was tragically killed in a traffic accident in March 2002. Traci, a senior from Derwood, Maryland, was the winner of the outstanding MSCI Student Award in 2001- 2002, held a McNair Scholarship, the highest scholarship USC offers, and was a member of the South Carolina Honors College. She was active in MARE, an undergraduate marine research group, and in the Marine Science Undergraduate Society. During her senior year as a Marine Science major she was simultaneously doing research as a graduate student in the Department of Biological Sciences. Traci was an outstanding student and an outgoing, warm-hearted person who is missed by all who knew her. |
