Andrea Shipton Receives Natural Resources Law Outstanding Student Award

The GWC is thrilled to recognize Andrea Shipton as the winner of the 2026 Natural Resources Law Outstanding Student Award. Andrea won the prestigious Wyss Scholarship, which is awarded to an outstanding student who is dedicated to career in public interest land conservation. She served as the Managing Editor of the Colorado Environmental Law Journal, and she also led the adventure club.

GWC Chris Winter shared, "Andrea was in the field seminar last year, and I think I’ll always remember the Spotify listening parties in the long car rides. I won’t go into more details, but it was eye opening. But I’ll also remember her love for being outside, exploring, and connecting those experiences to the study of law and policy." Andrea, congratulations and thank you.
