The Caroline Bernard Memorial Award has been established by Margarita Bernard to support female parents in the MA in Environmental Education and Communication program.

Caroline Bernard passed away in September 2021, as she neared the completion of her degree. She was a beautifully bright light, someone with the drive to live in a more positive, healthy and sustainable world. This award will help others follow in her footsteps and carry on where she left off - far too soon.
