2 CNSI members among Guggenheim Fellowships awarded to 5 UCLA faculty members
Two CNSI Members are among five UCLA faculty selected to receive 2025 Guggenheim Fellowships, the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation announced this week. The new fellows are part of the 198 awarded scholars, scientists and creative professionals from the U.S. and Canada chosen from a pool of more than 3,500 applicants.
CNSI members Mona Jarrahi and Jingyi Jessica Li are joined by Suk-Young Kim, Carolina Lithgow-Bertelloni and Park Williams as fellows from UCLA. Each will receive a no-strings-attached monetary stipend to independently pursue work and research of their choice.
“At a time when intellectual life is under attack, the Guggenheim Fellowship celebrates a century of support for the lives and work of visionary scientists, scholars, writers and artists,” said Edward Hirsch, president of the Guggenheim Foundation and an award-winning poet. “We believe that these creative thinkers can take on the challenges we all face today and guide our society towards a better and more hopeful future.”
