Jillian Bennett was selected as the recipient of the Stanger Endowed Graduate Fellowship. Established by Dianna Stanger, the fellowship provides academic freedom to selected fellows by providing a portion of their support for two years. The selection process for the fellowship focuses on how the student plans to leverage their Ph.D. toward general welfare and on ways in which the student has shown commitment to advancing women’s participation and inclusion in Aerospace Engineering and other STEM fields. On the fellowship, Jillian says “I am extremely thankful and honored to have received the Stanger Endowed Graduate Fellowship. This fellowship has given me the opportunity to dive further into my interests within my research. Because of Ms. Stanger’s generosity, I am able to broaden my knowledge and pursue a career in topics that most excite me and make an impact in aerospace engineering.”
