College of Arts and Sciences
Jacob Grant, Â鶹ӰԺ student, is a senior aerospace engineering major with a minor in physics. Grant graduated from Edison High School in Milan, OH in 2017. After a late medical disqualification from the Air Force Academy, he chose to attend Â鶹ӰԺ. Grant is a third generation Â鶹ӰԺ Honors College student. His grandmother studied Spanish at Â鶹ӰԺ State and his mother studied education. Both were members of the Honors College.
Â鶹ӰԺ has recently received a flurry of grants totaling more than $3 million in funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF), which will support research and innovation in a wide range of fields within the College of Arts and Sciences.
There are just a handful of chemists worldwide with h-indices above 200. The h-indices of chemists awarded the Nobel Prize during the last five years range from about 30 to 160. Mietek Jaroniec, professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry has an h-index of 125, which places him among the top chemists worldwide.
For students going into the medical research field, having a chance to learn, succeed, fail and be inspired under the supervision of an accomplished researcher during their education is a priceless experience. This experiential learning would not be possible without outside funding, and now, students in Manabu Kurokawa’s lab can elevate their efforts thanks to a grant awarded to the group.
U.S. News & World Report ranks Â鶹ӰԺ in the top 20 Best Library and Information Studies Programs in the country in its 2022 edition of Best Graduate Schools. Overall, Â鶹ӰԺ State is recognized in 12 new national rankings in the 2022 edition of Best Graduate Schools, including three specialty rankings.
