Noah Neverette, second-year graduate student in the Clinical Pharmaceutical Scientist Program, was awarded a K. Leroy Irvis Fellowship from the University of Pittsburgh. This fellowship is currently in its 31st year and is named after the late K. Leroy Irvis, a 1954 Pitt law school graduate, who was the first Black Assistant District Attorney in Allegheny County and a member of the Pennsylvania State House representing Pittsburgh for 30 years. Each year, schools select distinguished applicants who have demonstrated outstanding academic achievement, and among other qualifying criteria, come from an educational, cultural, or geographic setting that is underrepresented in graduate studies within their field in the United States or specifically at the University of Pittsburgh. The fellowship provides a 12-month stipend during doctoral studies, a full tuition scholarship, mentoring, and individual medical insurance. Noah entered the PhD program in 2023 and currently studies antiretroviral clinical pharmacology under the advisement of faculty member, Aaron Devanathan, PharmD, PhD, AAHIVP.
