New Fellowship Manager: Sarah Wagener
We are excited to announce that Sarah Wagener, the current Fellowship Network Coordinator for the Doris Duke Fellowships, will become the Fellowship Manager on September 1st. Sarah has served in her current role since June 2016 and has played a key role in managing fellowship sustainability initiatives and supporting fellows and mentor relationships. Lee Ann Huang, who has served as Fellowship Manager since 2010, was instrumental in developing and strengthening the fellowship’s structure and will continue to support the fellowship as Strategic Adviser. Lee Ann and Sarah will work closely together to ensure a successful transition. We are all excited to continue supporting fellows and implementing a strong fellowship program!

Save the Date: Mid-Year Meeting

We are excited to be partnering with the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center to host the Mid-Year Meeting in Oklahoma City. The Mid-Year Meeting will be held April 11-13, 2018. Current fellows, graduated fellows, and mentors local to Oklahoma City are encouraged to save the date!
New Fellows' Blog Post:
The Effects of Minimum Wages on Child Maltreatment, Teen Fertility, and Parenting Behaviors
Doris Duke graduated fellows launched The Fellows’ Blog in January 2017. This blog showcases Doris Duke fellows’ original research with a goal of making content accessible to policymakers and practitioners. The content of the blogs represents the individual opinions of the authors and in no way represents the opinions or positions of the Doris Duke Fellowship for the Promotion of Child Well-Being, the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, or Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago.
This month, Lindsey Bullinger (Cohort Six) and Kerri Raissian (Cohort One) explore the effects of minimum wages on a variety of dimensions of child well-being. Read their cross-cohort collaboration blog post here.
