W. Burghardt Turner
The fellowship carries the name of Professor W. Burghardt Turner, emeritus Professor of History at Stony Brook University. An African American faculty member who taught in the University for nearly 20 years, Professor Turner was actively engaged with issues relating to academic access for underrepresented students and their success at Stony Brook University. Professor Turner did not receive his doctorate, due to some of the very obstacles that the Fellowship seeks to overcome.
