Congratulations to Assistant Professor, Beverly Froud! She was recently awarded the Jewell L. Taylor National Graduate Fellowship at the AAFCS Conference. The Taylor Fellowship was established through a generous bequest from Jewell L. Taylor, a dedicated family and consumer sciences professional for more than 50 years. She held positions as a county home demonstration agent and utility home economist, continuing her interest in AAFCS until her death. This fellowship will contribute towards Mrs. Froud’s pursuit of a Ph.D. in Human Development and Family Science from Mississippi State University.
