Lin (advisor: Alyssa Panitch) and Phillips (advisor: Craig Goergen) were awarded Bilsland Dissertation Fellowships. This fellowship provides support to outstanding PhD candidates in their final year of doctoral degree completion. Students do not apply directly for the Bilsland Fellowship, but are nominated and selected by members of the graduate faculty in the college or school. The selection process considers the students’ academic and scholarly achievements and the promise of degree attainment at the conclusion of the fellowship tenure. The Bilsland Dissertation Fellowships are supported through a generous endowment to honor Winifred Beatrice Bilsland.
