Schmitt Fellow - AshanOne of Chemistry's own...

Graduate school is a time of deep academic exploration and professional preparation for doctoral students. At Marquette University, the Arthur J. Schmitt Leadership Fellowship adds another dimension to that experience: an intentional focus on developing scholars as leaders committed to making a positive difference in their communities and beyond.

The fellowship identifies exceptional Marquette doctoral students and supports their academic progress while providing opportunities to grow their leadership skills, knowledge, and sense of purpose. Inspired by the vision of Arthur J. Schmitt and supported by the Arthur J. Schmitt Foundation, the program seeks to foster socially responsible leaders who embody the values of Marquette University.
