Announcing the 2023 Presidential Fellowship Winners
Dear Members of The Graduate School Community: 
  
 We are pleased to announce the 2023 recipients of the Presidential Fellowship. 
 
 The Presidential Fellowship is the most prestigious fellowship awarded to graduate students by Northwestern University. It is awarded annually to graduate students who are nominated by their academic programs. A diverse committee of accomplished faculty members from a range of disciplines and fields selected the fellowship recipients from an impressive pool of nominations. 
   
 The fellows were chosen for their demonstrated record of outstanding academic achievement, promise as scholars, teachers, and researchers, and the ability to communicate the significance and impact of their research to a broad academic audience. 
   
 As Presidential Fellows, this year's recipients will take on a leadership role in the Society of Fellows. The fellows will represent their respective disciplines and the broader graduate community in gatherings and discussions throughout the year. Together, they enhance the interdisciplinary vibrancy of Northwestern University.
