Cheryl Wall Faculty Fellowships

2025-26 Fellows

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. These fellowships are available through a negotiated agreement between the University and the Rutgers AAUP-AFT.
