The Eberly College of Arts and Sciences Dean’s Office has announced the first cohort of Woodburn Fellowship recipients, whose two-year terms start in August 2020. The newly established fellowship program is one of the College’s highest honors for faculty. Associate and full professors classified as either tenured, teaching, service or research are eligible. The program will annually recognize exemplary professors who embody the highest potential for accomplishments in teaching, research and/or service in fields spanning the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences. Woodburn Fellows are expected to be actively and constructively involved in departmental governance, contribute to a collegial work environment and provide mentorship to junior members of their department’s faculty. They will also provide leadership across the college, discipline and community levels. The fellowship includes an award to support professional development, such as travel and research expenses.

Though she started her career at West Virginia University as a chemical engineering major, senior Soofia Lateef decided to stick around for an extra year to complete her dual-degree in philosophy. During her five years at WVU, Lateef has learned to take advantage of all the opportunities available to her. She cites Professor David Cerbone’s PHIL 355 course, Existentialism, as one of her most challenging. After graduation, she is headed to University of California, Riverside to pursue a Ph.D. in philosophy.
