Congratulations to PhD student Mary Efird from the Department of Anthropology for awarding a Graduate Student Summer Research Fellowship for Summer 2025.

Summer Research Fellowships provide a stipend of $5,000 to doctoral students in the period shortly before or after advancement to candidacy. The Fellowship enables doctoral students to devote a summer of focused work to prepare for or complete a benchmark in their program. The goal is to help doctoral students to take a significant step forward in their studies in order to reduce time-to-degree, increase degree completion, and enhance the graduate student experience.

Once again, congratulations, Mary!
