Ohio State University "Fellows"

Scholars and scientists devote their lives to the investigation and understanding of the wonders of our world and our cultures. A select few individuals in each academic discipline are singled out annually by their peers as examples of the best their fields have to offer. This website is intended to recognize the excellence and leadership of OSU faculty who have been selected as fellows in their respective professional organizations and scientific societies.

OHIO STATE AGAIN AMONG TOP UNIVERSITIES NATIONALLY WITH NEWLY NAMED AAAS FELLOWS

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Only one other institution in the country surpassed Ohio State University this year in the number of its research faculty named as new Fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).

For the second time in the last three years, Ohio State ranked second nationally in producing new Fellows, a highly regarded recognition for researchers whom are selected by their peers.

Ohio State has either been first or second annually since 2002 in the number of faculty named to this honor and is believed to have the largest contingent of current Fellows of any University in the country.

"Ohio State's large contingent of AAAS fellows from many disciplines underscores the excellence of our faculty," said President E. Gordon Gee. "They are among this nation's finest scholars, and their expertise in the classroom and the laboratory directly benefits our students and our state."
