Fourth-year mathematics and cognitive science major Catherine Cossaboom has been awarded a prestigious Marshall Scholarship to pursue graduate studies at the University of Oxford. The Marshall Scholarship, offered to about 50 students nationally each year across all fields, provides full funding for graduate study in the United Kingdom.
Sara Maloni has been awarded a prestigious 2025 Simons Fellowship in Mathematics. The Simons Fellows program extends academic leaves from one term to a full year, enabling recipients to focus solely on research for the long periods often necessary for significant advances. Professor Maloni is one of approximately 50 mathematicians nationwide selected for this honor.
