Recipient announced July 1st
The Kevin Flanagan Travel Award was established in collaboration with Kevin's family as a legacy to his commitment to AAUS and scientific diving. Kevin served as AAUS board member (2009-2011) and diving safety officer at the University of Hawaii and East Carolina University prior to his death in May 2012. Kevin's big personality and passion for his students endeared him to many in the AAUS community. The support we received from our community has enabled the Flanagan Travel Award to be the first fully endowed award of the AAUS Foundation, permanently funded through interest earned on the raised capital.
