We are pleased to report that Prof. Alyson Brooks has won a 2025-26 Cheryl Wall Faculty Fellowship and the 2024-25 Chancellor Excellence in STEM Diversity Award.
Please join us in congratulating Alyson for these well-deserved awards recognizing her efforts and accomplishments in growing a broad and inclusive community of physicists and astronomers.
The Cheryl Wall Faculty Fellowships recognize full-time faculty committed to addressing issues faced by the university’s diverse student population. The fellowships pay tribute to Dr. Cheryl Wall, who was a champion of these efforts, pioneered cluster hiring at Rutgers and helped guide various diversity projects, including the Rutgers AAUP-AFT's work on race and gender equity.
The Chancellor Award for Excellence in STEM Diversity honors a faculty member (Assistant or Associate Professor, tenure track or non-tenure track) whose work aims to increase diversity and inclusion in STEM fields through innovative approaches in pedagogy and teaching practices, research, and/or community engagement.
Thank you, Alyson, for all your contributions to the Department, the University, the discipline, and our community.
