The dedicated examination by ANRC members of the 2020 Scholars, Fellows, and Mentors resulted in the selection of exceptional new members and ambassadors of our unique and extraordinary community. They distinguish themselves through their research, teaching, and direct, front-line engagement in the issues and ideas confronting our society.
Based on our strategic plan, our Scholars were selected not only for outstanding academic achievement, but also for truly setting themselves apart for their critical thinking skills, a willingness to take risks, their radical curiosity, their talent for collaboration and a commitment to building a better and more inclusive world.
They will be guided and taught by our Fellows, who stand out as preeminent public educators, talented researchers and dynamic professors; and by our Mentors who distinguish themselves as engaged leaders and innovative actors from a broad range of professions and backgrounds.
The Foundation thanks ANRC members for their diligence and dedication in their critical role in this year’s selection process that has made our outstanding community even stronger through its excellence and diversity.
