PhD Student Brittany Bingham Named Sharon and Robert Ryan Fellow
Our PhD student, Brittany Bingham, was recently recognized as the 2017 Sharon and Robert Ryan Fellow. As such, she received the Ryan Summer Stipend Award.
This award comes from the generosity of Sharon (SAR '70) and Robert Ryan, through The Sharon G. and Robert L. Ryan Endowed Fellowship in Rehabilitation Sciences. Their gift provides support for one or more PhD students in the Rehabilitation Sciences, with a preference for PhD students supporting the research mission of the Ryan Center for Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation. Recipients are selected by the Dean of Sargent College.
Congratulations, Brittany!
