Emily French and John Sigmier have just been elected as Louis J. Kolb Society Junior Fellows. Both Emily and John are students in the Art and Archaeology of the Mediterranean World graduate group (AAMW). The Louis J. Kolb Society of Fellows originated in 1981, and its purpose is to provide fellowships and financial aid for graduate students at Penn in academic disciplines related to the mission of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology. Each year, several deserving Ph.D. candidates are elected to the rank of junior fellow in the Kolb Society by senior fellows, tenured faculty at Penn. Once the junior fellows complete the dissertation and graduate, they become lifelong fellows of the society. Both senior fellows and junior fellows are primarily drawn from the Departments of Anthropology, Classical Studies, History of Art, Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations, and East Asian Languages and Civilizations.
