Jeremy Brunette, University of Nebraska-Lincoln masters graduate, earned the 2016 Great Plains-CESU Graduate Student Award for his research.
“Jeremy was selected for the award because of his outstanding accomplishments on the project, ‘Archaeological Inventory of the Platt National Park National Historic Landmark (Platt Historic District), Chickasaw National Recreation Area,’” the Great Plains-CESU announced. “Jeremy clearly demonstrates the outstanding qualities we look for in our student recipients of this award.”
This is the first student recognition award issued by the Great Plains-CESU and is meant to recognize outstanding accomplishments by graduate students involved in Great Plains-CESU projects. Students must have delivered an outstanding service or product; have had a direct and exceptional impact on federal resource management; and be in their last year of their graduate program or graduated in the last academic year.
Brunette’s research project was funded through a Great Plains-CESU funding agreement between the university and the National Park Service. It generated the base data for the virtual town (http://www.unl.edu/plains/sulphur-springs-indian-territory-virtual-reconstruction ) of Sulphur Springs, Indian Territory, which was an offshoot of Brunette’s 2015 master’s thesis research. His master’s advisor, Nebraska anthropology professor Dr. Matthew Douglas, nominated him for his work.
Brunette will be presented the award at the 2017 Great Plains-CESU annual meeting in February; he also will have an opportunity to present his research.
Brunette current is employed by the Los Alamos National Laboratory, New Mexico, where the development of the Manhattan Project National Historical Park is underway.
