Dr. Turan had been serving as the Interim Director since last summer, and during the past year has moved the Sparkman Center forward on a number of key activities. Most recently, Dr. Turan announced a new group of Sparkman pilot grant awardees; new Summer 2019 Sparkman Center interns have been named; the Sparkman Fellows program has been re-invigorated; and plans are underway to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Sparkman Center this fall.

Congratulations Dr. Turan!
