Julio Cedillo ('23-'24 Cohort) has been awarded a Latinx Research Center (LRC) Faculty-Mentored Undergraduate Research Fellowship (FMURF) for the '24-'25 Academic Year! Julio will be part of the LRC Fellowship's fourth cohort alongside Associate Professor of Sociology, Armando Lara-Millán.
The LRC’s FMURF program pairs leading scholars with outstanding undergraduates to advance research in Latinx Studies across the liberal arts, sciences, professional schools, and the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive. Throughout the entirety of the academic year, Student Fellows worked closely with Faculty to support one or more original research projects to develop research skills, critical thinking, and intellectual creativity. The fellowship awards up to $9,600 to the student fellow over the course of the 2024-2025 academic year, given good standing in the program.
Julio enrolled in Lara-Millán's Economy and Society course in Spring 2024, where Julio began his interest in economic sociology. He plans to continue this interest by doing research on the global economy with Professor Lara-Millán.
