John Emerson, Winner of the 2014 Thayer Fellowship, SUNY

John Emerson


Congratulations to John Emerson, winner of the 2014 Thayer Fellowship sponsored by The State University of New York.

Each year, a Thayer Fellowship in the amount of $7,000 is awarded to one student, or shared among several students, who demonstrate outstanding achievement and high professional potential in the arts. The Patricia Kerr Ross Award, for $1,000, is given to a student, or shared among several students, who have demonstrated excellence, originality, and promise in the arts. Both awards are intended as a bridge between SUNY study in the arts and entry into a professional career in the arts.

This is the second consecutive year that an Alfred Ceramics graduate student has received the award. Last year Sara Parent-Ramos was awarded both the Thayer Fellowship and the Patricia Kerr Ross Award.
