A&S Scholars Win Multiple Research Awards

This year our humanities scholars have had unprecedented success in competitions for the most prestigious research awards in the U.S.

Our faculty have won two Guggenheims and awards in three different programs from the ACLS, as well as an assortment of other major and highly competitive grants.

Susan Kuyper, our grants resource officer for the humanities and qualitative social sciences, has worked closely with many faculty and graduate students in these disciplines.
