Texas A&Ms Hagler Institute brings renowned scholars and researchers to campus to collaborate with students and faculty.

A Nobel physicist, a Nobel economist and the first female astronaut of color to travel into space are among 14 new Hagler Fellows and two new Distinguished Lecturers announced today by the Hagler Institute for Advanced Study at Texas A&M University.

The Class of 2023-24 is the Hagler Institutes largest in its 13-year history. Each fellow or lecturer belongs to the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, or holds recognitions of equal stature in their field. The newest class includes scientists, engineers and scholars who are recognized internationally for their achievements and scholarship.

Since 2012, the Hagler Institute has attracted 126 world-class researchers to the Texas A&M campus: 116 Hagler Fellows and 10 Distinguished Lecturers. Of these, 15 have joined Texas A&Ms faculty.

Once again, the Hagler Institute has attracted an exceptional class of fellows and lecturers to work with our already exceptional community of Texas A&M researchers, Texas A&M University System Chancellor John Sharp said. Working in tandem with the Chancellors Research Initiative and the Governors University Research Initiative, the institute likely will persuade some of these National Academy-level researchers to join our outstanding, permanent faculty.

The fellows will collaborate with faculty, researchers and students in the colleges of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Arts and Sciences, and Engineering; schools of Education and Human Development, Engineering Medicine, Medicine, Public Health, and Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences; and at Texas A&M University at Galveston.

Since 2012, the Hagler Institute haslinked Texas A&Ms faculty and students with some of the worlds most influential scholars, said Gen.(Ret.) Mark A. Welsh III, interim president. The 12thclass of Hagler Fellows is top-notch, and Ilook forward to the invaluable mentorship opportunities and educationalexperiences our faculty and students alike willbenefit from as a result of this outstanding program.

The institute selects its Hagler Fellows from among top scholars who have distinguished themselves through outstanding professional accomplishments and significant recognition.

Previous classes of Hagler Fellows have included four Nobel laureates, a Wolf Prize recipient, a recipient of the Hubble Medal in Literature for Lifetime Achievement, a recipient of the National Medal of Science, an awardee of the National Medal of Technology and Innovation, a two-time recipient of the State Prize of Russia and a recipient of both the National Humanities Medal and the Johan Skytte Prize, the most prestigious award in political science.

We have great expectations for this new class of Hagler Fellows, Founding Director John L. Junkins said. We believe they will have a productive and enduring impact on our faculty, our students and on the culture of the Texas A&M campus.

The Hagler Institute will induct the Class of 2023-24 during its annual gala in March. The 14 new fellows are:
