Fielder Graduate Fellows
The Marie Fielder Center appoints current doctoral students as Fielder Graduate Fellows . These fellows are chosen through a competitive selection process from the university’s doctoral student population, based on the quality of their proposed research that aligns with the Fielder Center’s objectives. Serving for a typical term of two years, they work on a project that combines their research interests with the goals of the Fielder Center.
Fielder Graduate Fellows benefit from research and grant development guidance, professional growth opportunities, cohort meetings, and participation in Fielder Center events at national sessions. In addition to their research duties, they actively pursue external funding, publications, and presentations related to their work.
In September 2018, Fielder Graduate Fellows hosted an online panel discussion about their projects for alumni and other interested participants. To delve deeper into the Fellows’ projects, you can watch the recorded webinar available below.
