Kefas Lamak has been awarded a Post-Comprehensive Research Fellowship by the U of I Graduate College for the Spring 2024 semester.  According to the grad college website, "This fellowship program provides an opportunity for advanced PhD students to benefit from protected and supported time to pursue their scholarly research activities. The fellowship is intended to recognize students with distinguished academic achievement during their early graduate training. These achievements should be evident from a combination of outstanding academic performance in coursework, as well as early scholarly research activities. Students who have held teaching assistantships in the previous two semesters will have priority."
