Congratulations to the following faculty, who were named 2025-2026 recipients of the Cheryl Wall Faculty Fellowship:
- Dr. Angélica González, Associate Professor of Biology
- Dr. Lauren Silver, Associate Professor of Childhood Studies
- Dr. Youwen (Warren) Zhang, Assistant Professor of Chemistry
These fellowships, in the form of a course release, recognize full-time faculty committed to addressing issues faced by the university’s diverse student population. The fellowships pay tribute to Dr. Cheryl Wall, who was a champion of these efforts, pioneered cluster hiring at Rutgers and helped guide various diversity projects, including the Rutgers AAUP-AFT’s work on race and gender equity. These fellowships are available through a negotiated agreement between Rutgers University and the Rutgers AAUP-AFT.
