This award was established in 1978 by Robert E. Matteson, class of 1937 and parent of two Carleton graduates. The Adelaide H. Matteson Service Award is given annually to a junior or senior who has exhibited a high degree of academic achievement, motivation with respect to problem solving, and a desire to pursue an environmental career. The award is intended to support an internship or research opportunity that will provide the recipient with experience in environmental decision-making. Examples might include internships or research with city councils, county or town boards, state environmental agencies, state legislative committees, schools or businesses dealing with environmental problems, and/or environmental organizations.
