IPCAA Kudos

IPCAA graduate students regularly apply for, and receive, grants, fellowships, and prestigious awards, particularly during the later years of their graduate career. In addition, as part of the IPCAA cursus honorum, students are encouraged to deliver talks at conferences, and to publish articles and short notes in various peer-reviewed journals or in catalogues that accompany exhibitions at the Kelsey Museum.

The list of student accomplishments and kudos is lengthy and impressive— recent (external) awards and fellowships include the Rome Prize of the American Academy in Rome; Andrew W. Mellon Fellowship in Humanistic Studies; Jacob K. Javits Fellowship; Getty Museum Graduate Internship; Brunhilde Ridgeway Fellowship, American School of Classical Studies; State Department Fellowship, American Research Center in Egypt; Samuel H. Kress Fellowships, Oscar Broneer Travel Award, American School of Classical Studies; U.S Department of State and J. William Fulbright Awards; Woodruff Traveling Fellowship, Archaeological Institute of America — as well as a number of competitive fellowships awarded internally by the University of Michigan. The record of recent publications and conference talks is equally impressive.

Although the first section below highlights only those publications and conference talks from the last three years, it provides a clear picture of the range of work undertaken by current IPCAA students. The second section lists some recent books published by former graduates of IPCAA.
