Graduate Student Awards

Graduate students received national awards during 1999-2000. Here's a sample:

Joel Andersen, a doctoral student in political science, received a National Science Foundation Fellowship, an award intended to support students at or near the beginning of their graduate study.

Chosen on the basis of intellectual merit, research experience, and plans, among other factors, recipients must also demonstrate that their research will have significant implications for the community at large.

The awards carry a stipend of $16,200 for a 12-month tenure and an annual cost-of-education allowance of $10,500 for tuition and fees.

Andersen is specializing in American politics and statistical methods.

Peter Gochee, a second-year student at the School of Medicine and Dentistry, was awarded a Fulbright Postgraduate Student Award to study in Australia.

He will spend one year in Brisbane, Australia, assisting with a population-based study of hereditary hemochromatosis, a common genetic disease that results in excessive iron accumulation throughout the body.
