We are delighted to share the news that Sociology grad Nick Smith is the recipient of a Ford Foundation Dissertation Fellowship. This prestigious fellowship, administered by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine on behalf of the Ford Foundation, is awarded in a national competition limited to “Individuals with evidence of superior academic achievement (such as grade point average, class rank, honors or other designations); and Individuals committed to a career in teaching and research at the college or university level in the U.S.” As a fellowship recipient, Nick will also be invited to join other fellows across the nation at the Conference of Ford Fellows, “a unique national conference of a select group of high-achieving scholars committed to diversifying the professoriate and using diversity as a resource for enriching the education of all students.” Nick is eminently qualified to join this elite – and hard-working – group of honorees.
Congratulations, Nick!
The College of Arts
