Jessica Edrington Selected as Lilly Fellow

Thursday, January 23, 2025

Congratulations to Assistant Lecturer of Mathematics and Academy alum Jessica Edrington for her selection as a Lilly Fellow through the 2025 Teacher Creativity Fellowship Program. As one of the 129 funded projects out of the thousands received from across the state of Indiana, Professor Edrington will utilize the $15,000 fellowship award to explore the significant contributions women have made in the mathematics sciences.

Entitled “Recognizing and Celebrating Women in Mathematics,” this project will take Professor Edrington to Alexandria, Egypt; Milan, Italy; Gottingen, Germany; among other locations with historical significance that chronicle the intersection of pioneering women within the mathematical sciences. Professor Edrington not only continues the success of Academy faculty that have received a Lilly Creativity Fellowship over the last several years but also adds to the distinguished accomplishments of our alumni!
