UWSC’s Jennifer Dykema Awarded H.I. Romnes Fellowship Award

Thirty-two University of Wisconsin–Madison faculty have been awarded fellowships from the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research for 2024-25, including UWSC’s Jennifer Dykema. The awardees span the four research divisions on campus: arts and humanities, physical sciences, social sciences and biological sciences.

“These awards recognize excellence in faculty research, academics, and outreach at various stages of their scholarly careers and provide an opportunity for continued development of their research programs. I look forward to seeing the results of their imaginative use of these funds.”

-Cynthia Czajkowski, interim vice chancellor for research

Thirteen faculty have been honored with the H.I. Romnes Fellowships to recognize faculty with exceptional research contributions within their first six years from promotion to a tenured position. The award is named in recognition of the late WARF trustees president H.I. Romnes and comes with $60,000 that may be spent over five years.

Jennifer Dykema, associate professor of sociology and faculty director of the University of Wisconsin Survey Center, conducts research on topics related to survey methodology including questionnaire design, methods to increase response rates, and interviewer-respondent interaction. She teaches undergraduate and graduate courses on these topics at UW–Madison and the University of Michigan.

Congratulations, Jen! We are fortunate to experience your hard work and dedication to research every day at the UWSC!
