Henry S. Newman Graduate Student Fellowship awarded to Economics PhD student Huiren Tan
Economics PhD student Huiren Tan has been awarded the 2017 Henry S. Newman Graduate Student Fellowship for the 2017-18 academic year.
The Henry S. Newman Graduate Student Fellowship, endowed by Mr. Newman in honor of his daughter Dori Newman (CAS ’69), provides a one-year fellowship to a PhD student in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences whose dissertation focuses on some aspect of immigration to America. Mr. Newman immigrated to America following World War II after having survived two years in a concentration camp.
The fellowship will allow Huiren to further his research into the response of residents to immigration from Mexico in the early 20th century.
