Vikas Gawai was selected as a Diversity Scholar Fellow and attended the 2023 Diversity Academy at the American University School of Public Affairs. The goal of the Summer Diversity Academy is to provide an opportunity for scholars underrepresented among public affairs faculty to receive quality feedback on research projects and mentoring advice on strategic planning of an academic career. The program provides a one week in residence experience at the American University School of Public Affairs in the Department of Public Administration and Policy. Congratulations, Vikas!
