Texas A&M University Names 2021 EDGES Fellows
Published on Fri 09/10/21
Thirteen distinguished faculty from across Texas A&M University have been honored as 2021 Chancellor’s Enhancing Development and Generating Excellence in Scholarship (EDGES) Fellows.
EDGES Fellowships were launched in 2019 with resources from Texas A&M University System Chancellor John Sharp to honor, incentivize, and boost mid-career faculty at the associate or early full professor rank who are making significant marks in their discipline. The recognition highlights Texas A&M’s focus on supporting, retaining, and recognizing faculty with significant and sustained accomplishments and the promise of continued high-impact scholarship.
“Chancellor John Sharp’s support for EDGES recognizes our outstanding faculty members who are earning national and international acclaim,” said Interim Provost and Executive Vice President Mark H. Weichold. “EDGES provides these accomplished, impactful faculty members with resources to ensure that their scholarly activities receive well-deserved recognition on the world’s stage.”
EDGES Fellows retain the right to use the title throughout their tenure as faculty members in good standing at Texas A&M University.
The awards pair with endeavors like the Presidential Impact Fellowships and other faculty investment programs to empower and advance the careers of faculty at every level.
