Oh Wins Presidential Fellowship

Jaehong Oh was selected for The Ohio State University Presidential Fellowship.

The Presidential Fellowship is the most prestigious award given by the Graduate School to recognize the outstanding scholarly accomplishments and potential of graduate students entering the final phase of their dissertation research or terminal degree project. Recipients of this award embody the highest standards of scholarship in the full range of Ohio State's graduate programs.

The Presidential Fellowship provides financial support so that each Presidential fellow may devote one year of full-time study to the completion of his or her dissertation or degree project unimpeded by other duties. Nominations are made and submitted by graduate studies committee chairs. To be eligible, a student must have a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.6 for all Ohio State graduate course work, have completed all degree course work by the time the fellowship is activated, and have passed the candidacy examination (doctoral students) by the nomination deadline.

Jaehong has had an extremely successful year so far; he received two national research awards, became a father of a baby girl in early May, and is now a Presidential Fellow!

Jaehong's advisor is Dr. Dorota Brzezinska; his co-advisor is Dr. Charles Toth.

Congratulations Jaehong!
