Congratulations to Rebecca Renteria, one of our newest students to the ALRS program! Rebecca has been selected as the recipient of the prestigious UA Fellowship under the University Fellows Program for the 2021-2022 academic year. Another ALRS student, Diana Githu, was a UA Fellow the previous academic year, for 2020-2021. 

The world's challenges require interdisciplinary solutions from the top minds. The University Fellows Program prepares the University of Arizona's most distinguished graduate students to be the innovative leaders the world needs. This program is the flagship initiative of the Graduate Center. It includes a fellowship offered to the University's highest-ranked incoming doctoral and masters students. Recipients of the fellowship receive a competitive financial package, professional development programming, mentoring and community engagement opportunities, and a richly interdisciplinary cohort. The goals of the University Fellows Program are to recruit the best students to the University of Arizona; develop interdisciplinary scholars, artists, and practitioners who are the next generation of leaders; and promote collaborative innovation on campus and throughout our broader communities.
