Prestigious Fellowship for our Faculty Three Years in a Row

Assistant Professor Sara Tolbert was selected as a 2015 National Academy of Education/Spencer Postdoctoral Fellow. This is the third consecutive year a UA College of Education faculty member has been chosen for this honor, which is among the most prestigious for early career educational researchers. The fellowship comes with a $70,000 grant to encourage fellows to pursue critical education research projects. The primary focus of Tolbert's research is to improve science learning opportunities for underserved students. Previous awards were granted to Associate Professor Francesca Lopez (Educational Psychology) and Assistant Professor Nolan Cabrera (Educational Policy Studies & Practice).
