Assistant Professor Jarad Mason

As 2018 comes to an end, we tally the major awards and grants our junior faculty earned throughout the year

 

We always showcase when a CCB faculty member wins an internationally significant, singular award or grant (a Nobel Prize, for a grand example). But, we don't always acknowledge the smaller, quieter accomplishments that represent remarkable, invaluable pillars in a junior faculty member's budding career.

Below, we highlight these achievements and celebrate the hard work, dedication, and creativity of the rising stars, who earned them.
