APRIL 12, 2023 — UTSA Department of Anthropology Professor Michael Cepek has received the prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation for 2023. The Guggenheim Fellowship is an important award because it is one of the most prestigious and competitive grants for artists, writers, scholars and scientists in the United States.
The Fellowship is administered by the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, which was established in 1925 to support individuals who have demonstrated exceptional ability and outstanding achievement in their respective fields.
Each year, the Guggenheim Foundation awards approximately 175 fellowships to individuals making their mark in the social sciences, the natural sciences, the humanities and the creative arts from approximately 3,000 applications each year. Cepek will be the second current faculty member to receive the Guggenheim Fellowship. UTSA Historian and Author Catherine Clinton, the Gilbert M. Denman Endowed Professor in American History, received the fellowship in 2016.
