Clive and Beverley David Research Scholarship
This scholarship honors the lives and careers of Clive and Beverley David, Ph.D., who both served on the faculty at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. Clive David was a professor of forestry in the College of Natural Resources from 1989 until his death in 2004. A champion of undergraduate research and innovative technology, he was an early advocate for using geographic information systems (GIS) in the classroom and helped launch the college’s CNR Student Research Symposium in 2000. Beverley David, now retired, joined the Department of World Languages and Literatures in 1991 and taught French and Spanish until 2015. Her dedication to students earned her the UW-Stevens Point Excellence in Teaching Award in 2000 and the University Service Award in 2013. This award is funded by the Clive and Beverley David Research Scholarship Endowment, made possible through generous gifts in Clive’s memory from the David family, alumni, and friends.

She demonstrates strong leadership across the board, including Fire Crew, (the student chapter of) The Wilderness Society, and our black bear project and has pushed herself to take advantage of as many opportunities as possible, including wildlife work all over the United States, from Pennsylvania to Oregon to Alaska…I cannot recommend Adrienne more strongly for this award.
