JUNE 6, 2024 — The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) has selected Sharon Navarro, professor of political science in the UTSA College of Liberal and Fine Arts, as a 2024-2025 Jefferson Science Fellow. Navarro is one of nine in the country to receive this prestigious fellowship and the first from the University of Texas at San Antonio.
The NAS is a private, nonprofit society of distinguished scholars who provide science, engineering, and health policy advice to the federal government and other organizations. The Jefferson Science Fellows Program is designed to further build on that effort.
Navarro joins the 21st class of fellows selected since the program was created in 2003 as an initiative of the Office of the Science and Technology Advisor to the U.S. Secretary of State. She will begin her year-long fellowship at the State Department in Washington, D.C. this fall.
