THREE WIN NATIONAL AWARDS FOR STUDY, RESEARCH
ABROAD
This past spring, three students from UNH were named winners of prestigious national awards to do
academic work abroad during the 2009-10 academic year.
Andrew McKernan‘09 was awarded a Student Fulbright Scholarship to conduct research in Moscow,
Russia. His topic is “Temples to the Soviet Regime: The Politics of Soviet Construction.” He will
spend this academic year doing library and archival work at the Russian State Library and Shchusev
State Museum of Architectural History, attending lectures at the Moscow Architectural Institute, and
conducting personal study of the buildings constructed prior to Joseph Stalin’s death.
A resident of Bow, NH, McKernan received his B.A. degree in May with a double major in Russian language and linguistics.
McKernan was also a member of the UNH Honors Program.

Michelle Walsh, a PhD candidate in zoology education, was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to conduct flatfish stock
enhancement research with leading scientists at the Maizuru Fisheries Research Station in Japan. Though flatfish, which include
flounder, halibut and sole, are among the most desirable fish for human consumption, they are especially vulnerable in their early
life stages, and their populations have steadily declined in the past few decades. The spawning and rearing of fish in captivity for
later release to natural populations is one of the few tools available to fisheries scientists for conserving, managing and restoring
natural fish populations. Walsh will study the strategies that contribute to successful flatfish stock enhancement in Japan with the

hope of transferring what she learns to the stock enhancement of related flatfish (winter and summer flounder) found here on the
East Coast of the United States.
Jeanna Diorio will spend her sophomore year on a National Security Education Program (NSEP) Boren Scholarship studying
Arabic language in Egypt. She was selected as one of 130 students nationally to receive an award from a pool of 896. A resident of
Kingston, NH, Diorio is a dual major in international affairs and political science with a minor in history and a focus on the
Middle East. Diorio first became interested in the Middle East while participating in the Model United Nations program in high
school. She has continued her involvement with the organization at UNH, recently participating in the international Model UN
competition in New York City for which the UNH Palestine delegation received an Honorable Mention.
