Jesse Weddle

Jesse Weddle was selected as the ninth recipient of the HHCF Scholarship in 2020, a student at Missouri Southern State University with a background in wastewater and plumbing that drew him to environmental health studies.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the traditional in-person award presentation at the MMFEHA conference was not possible. The scholarship check was mailed to Jesse, with a promise that a homemade pie would follow when circumstances allowed.

Congratulations, Jesse! Your hands-on background in wastewater and plumbing gives you a practical foundation that will serve you well in environmental health. We look forward to seeing you put that real-world experience to work protecting communities and are excited for your future in the field.
