Home: Science and Technology: Honors and Awards Program

Designation as a Corporate Fellow is made on a limited basis to recognize exceptionally gifted individuals throughout the organization for their technical achievement in science or engineering. Staff members are honored for excellence and accomplishments in their professional careers through appointment to one of three categories:

• Senior Research Fellow (Active, Emeritus)
• Corporate Research Fellow (Active, Emeritus)
• Corporate Engineering Fellow (Emeritus)

Corporate fellowships characterize innovation, dedication, and significance of extraordinary contributions to research and development. These contributions have been acknowledged throughout the United States as well as other nations.
