Congratulations to Ellen Mule for winning the Richard Pittenger Fellowship! The Richard Pittenger Fellowship is awarded annually to a U.S. naval officer in the MIT-Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) Joint Program. The fellowship was established to honor the WHOI’s former vice president of marine operations, who retired in 2004 after 14 years at WHOI and 32 years in the Navy, including a tour as Oceanographer of the Navy. He was a strong advocate for science and engineering education for naval officers.
