Centre College student Carley 主教, 24届毕业生, spent the summer before her senior year interning on Yellow Island, p艺术 of the San Juan Islands of Washington State. Her Doris Duke Conservation Scholar internship allowed her to merge her love of science and 艺术 while helping educate island visitors.

Combing through tide pools in Washington State's San Juan Islands was a dream come true for the scientist inside Carley 主教. But the Centre College senior and Frankfort, 肯塔基州, native harbors another passion along with biology: 艺术.

Could her time on Yellow Island via the prestigious Doris Duke Conservation Scholars Program serve both those loves? 当然可以.

主教, along with intern p艺术ner Kamryn You Mak, combined their growing biological expertise of the island with a creative approach to educating visitors through an illustrated guide book.
