Announcement of second Three CARTA Fellowships in Anthropogeny

It is our pleasure to announce the awarding of the second three CARTA Fellowships in Anthropogeny. Three graduate students have successfully applied for these fellowships.

They are:

Melanie Beasley from Anthropology

Kari Hanson from Anthropology

Rachel Zarndt from Biomedical Sciences

Each Fellowship covers basic stipend and tuition for one year. They are intended to free the graduate students of all but the basic teaching assistant duties so as to allow them to participate in the Anthropogeny specialization. Assuming good performance by the students and future funding by the Mathers Foundation, each fellowship will be renewed for two additional years.

These three Ph.D. students will be the first to enroll in the new graduate specialization in Anthropogeny starting this Fall. The first course offered is “Current Topic in Anthropogeny” (BIOM 218). The new courses “Introduction to Anthropogeny” (BIOM 225 ) and “Advanced Anthropogeny” (BIOM 229) will be offered for the first time in Fall 2011 and Spring 2012.

Last year's recipients have each been renewed as well:

Ben Cipollini from Cognitive Sciences

Leela Davies from Biomedical Sciences

Hope Morgan from Linguistics

Please join us in congratulating our first six fellows on this achievement.
