About Us

Our Allan Fellows

The Allan Fellowship is designed to encourage undergraduate student staff members at The University Speaking Center to complete speaking center research or outreach projects which culminate in original academic papers.  Peter and Joan Allan established this program because they believe in the power of student voices and student action. For years, the Allan’s gift has provided more than just financial support. It has provided students with an opportunity to grow in the service of the speaking center, keeps us in the lead nationally where center related undergraduate research goes and makes UNCG a better place for all. 

Many past Allan Fellows have presented their research at national and regional academic conferences.  A few have won awards*.  Some, who have worked under the direction of Dr. Schwartzman, one of our faculty fellows, have had their research published in academic journals**.
