Rhoden Fellows
The Rhoden Fellowship is a training program for the next generation of sports journalists from historically Black colleges and universities, headed by Andscape editor-at-large and former New York Times award-winning columnist William C. Rhoden. The fellowship – established as part of Andscape’s mission to develop new voices and serve as an incubator for future multicultural journalists – is open to outstanding undergraduate students at HBCUs.
Through the lens of sports, the fellows produce stories about race, class and culture and serve as campus correspondents for Andscape. The eighth class of fellows includes: Assata Allah-Shabazz, Morgan State University; Nilea Cosley, Clark Atlanta University; Sydney Cuillier, Southern University and A&M College; Madison Firle, Howard University; Gabrielle Heyward, North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University; and Aniyah Robinson, Langston University.
