Jane Harrison<\/a>, North Carolina Sea Grant\u2019s coastal economics specialist, recently accepted honors for leadership of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Visioning Team for the National Sea Grant Network. Harrison, along with Mona Behl of Georgia Sea Grant and Sarah Kolesar of Oregon Sea Grant received the Sea Grant Association President\u2019s Award.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have been fearless in their pursuit of placing Sea Grant in a leadership position on advancing the ideas that a diverse, equal, inclusive and just Sea Grant network is a stronger and more effective research, education and outreach program,\u201d Fredrika Moser, SGA president and director of Maryland Sea Grant, said during a recent virtual ceremony.<\/p>\n

Susan White<\/a>, director of North Carolina Sea Grant and incoming president of the Sea Grant Association, agrees. \u201cWe celebrate Jane\u2019s national role, as well as her leadership on diversity topics within our program, on campus and in the community,\u201d White said.<\/p>\n

For the president\u2019s honor, Moser cited the national committee\u2019s accomplishments, including a 10-year DEI vision plan, as well as establishing the Community-Engaged Undergraduate Internship Program, which is available through Sea Grant programs nationwide for students from underrepresented and indigenous communities nationwide.<\/p>\n

Behl is a scientist and administrator who serves as the associate director of GASG. Kolesar, is the research and fellowship leader for ORSG, and the incoming chair of a coordinating committee of national Sea Grant professional networks.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am so proud of the outstanding DEI committee for their efforts to make the Sea Grant network ever more amazing,\u201d Moser added.<\/p>\n

During the ceremony, Moser cited as noteworthy Harrison\u2019s \u201cearly push to build a DEI Community of Practice, and to have diversity and inclusion highlighted at both the 2016 Mid-Atlantic Sea Grant and Sea Grant Week meetings.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harrison also conducts research and outreach on the blue economy, which emerges when economic activity is in balance with the long-term capacity of ocean and coastal ecosystems. Her subject areas of focus range from tipping points for septic systems, fisheries economic impacts, coastal landscapes and the emerging NC Oyster Trail.<\/p>\n

Harrison earned her doctorate in forest social science from Oregon State University. She holds a master of science degree in agricultural, environmental and development economics from The Ohio State University. Previously she worked in the Great Lakes region for Wisconsin Sea Grant as a social science outreach specialist.<\/p>\n

In addition to the SGA awards, the virtual ceremony included honors for \u201cresearch to application\u201d impacts, as well as outstanding outreach and communications. Other honors included a distinguished service award for Rick DeVoe, retiring director of South Carolina Sea Grant who has worked on many regional and national efforts.<\/p>\n

White begins her two-year term as SGA president in January 2021. The nonprofit organization\u2019s members are academic institutions that participate in the National Sea Grant College Program. SGA helps the 34 Sea Grant programs and institutions to coordinate activities, and set priorities at the regional and national levels<\/p>\n

\u201cI am proud of our network as we continue to move forward on issues of importance to the oceans, Great Lakes and coasts,\u201d White adds.<\/p>\n
