The School of Arts & Sciences is pleased to announce the undergraduate students who have been selected to receive a 2020 Summer Training in the Arts and Sciences (STAR) and 2020 DraftKings fellowship awards. STAR fellowships are made possible through the generosity of WPI’s Arts & Sciences Advisory Board and were awarded to A&S undergraduate student to conduct research (projects were completed remotely this summer or in-person during the academic year). The DraftKings Fellowship is made possible by a generous gift from the DraftKings corporation to support work that elevates the impact of advanced research in information science and technology. We congratulate all award recipients.
