ROYCE FELLOWSHIP FOR SPORT AND SOCIETY
The Sport and Society Fellowship recognizes Brown University undergraduates who have a record of excellence in academics and sport. The program supports innovative research or applied projects, exploring the intersection of sport and human rights within a particular context.
Fellows’ areas of research may include health, education, conflict resolution, public policy, disability rights, race, gender or ethnicity. The Fellowship supports reflection and inquiry by inspiring fellows to connect their scholarly work with that of their peers and designated faculty, staff and community leaders. Faculty and Community Advisors will work with the Fellows.
This initiative is established through the generosity of Charles Royce, a 1961 graduate of Brown University and parent of two Brown graduates. Mr. Royce, president of Royce Funds, has served as a University trustee since 1989 and is an active member of several university committees, including director of the Sports Foundation.
The inaugural class of Sport and Society Fellows was inducted in a ceremony on April 26, 2007.
