K. Leroy Irvis Fellowship
The late K. Leroy Irvis, a 1954 Pitt law school graduate, was the first Black Assistant District Attorney in Allegheny County and a member of the Pennsylvania State House representing Pittsburgh for 31 years. In 1994, the University of Pittsburgh established the K. Leroy Irvis Fellowships to enhance the academic excellence and diversity of the University of Pittsburgh's graduate student body, attract the most outstanding and diverse graduate students to Pitt’s doctoral programs and prepare students for academic and research careers.
Each year, schools select distinguished doctoral applicants who have demonstrated outstanding academic achievement to participate in this prestigious program. Congratulations to our incoming Ph.D. student, Angelina Rodriguez (working with Dr. Capo and Dr. Stewart)
