Congratulations, Abiola! 

The Gloria Chisum Graduate Fellowship recognizes promising new and continuing doctoral students from populations historically underrepresented in PhD education. Students are nominated and selected on the basis of their academic achievements and promise as future scholars in their field. The fellowship honors the legacy of Gloria Twine, PhD, a trailblazing scientist and community leader who earned her PhD in psychology from the University of Pennsylvania and later led the Vision Laboratory at the U.S. Naval Air Development Center. Chisum was the first black woman to serve on the Board of Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania and co-founded the James Brister Society at Penn. An active community and civic leader, she has also served on the board of directors for the William Penn Foundation, Pew Charitable Trusts, the Free Library of Philadelphia, the Arthritis Foundation, the Philadelphia Orchestra, the National Constitution Center, Fischer and Porter Co. and Philadelphia Savings Fund Society.
