Past Fellows

The Welder Fellowship Program began under the leadership of our first Director, Dr. Clarence Cottam, and the original Trustees. The first student to complete their fellowship was Dr. Thad Box in 1956. Since then, there have been 350 Welder Fellows that have come through the program, and counting! For more information on our Fellowships, visit the ‘Fellowships‘ tab in the menu. Here is a look at our Fellows through the years…
