Prof. Jain receives career enhancement fellowship

Anupama Jain, assistant professor of English, has received a 2005-2006 Career Enhancement Fellowship for Junior Faculty. Funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and administered by the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation, the fellowship provides a one-year sabbatical stipend, a research or publication stipend, and a fall retreat. The fellowship seeks to increase the presence of faculty members committed to eradicating racial disparities in core fields in the arts and sciences. An interdisciplinary committee of noted scholars reviews all applications and selects the fellowship winners based on scholarship, teaching skills and future contributions to the academic community.
