Bridging the Gap between Science and Management

BOWDOIN COLLEGE • January 26, 2021

When he learned he was a finalist for a prestigious Knauss fellowship, Andrew Villeneuve, Bowdoin College Class of ’16, was “elated.” He still had to survive an intensive selection process, however, which involved interviews at twenty-one different federal offices in one week. That was in October 2020. Now, three months later, Villeneuve is one of a handful of young marine scientists preparing to undergo a year of policy training as a Knauss fellow, in a program administered by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The Sea Grant Knauss Fellowship is name after former NOAA Administrator John A. Knauss.
