Daniel Alder, a junior majoring in biology and environmental sciences, is a recipient of the Stanley Undergraduate Award for International Research in the amount of $2,000.

The award, made possible through the support of the Stanley-UI Foundation Support Organization, is given annually to outstanding University of Iowa undergraduates for the pursuit of learning activities in international studies that are not available on the UI campus.

Awards are given to students who, in close consultation with faculty members, have developed well-conceived, small-scale research or fieldwork projects on international topics, which require travel abroad. Daniel, a member of Professor Steve Hendrix’s lab in the Department of Biology, plans to travel to the island of Roatan, Honduras, for six weeks to research the impact of hunting on invasive Lionfish populations.
