Dr. Ángel de Jesus González was selected as a 2025 Equity and Inclusion Young Professional Fellow, the Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management announced in August.

Only five fellowships are granted each year and González, an assistant professor in the Kremen School of Education and Human Development, joins scholars from UC Irvine, Rice University and Texas A&M. González, who uses the pronoun they, will accept the award in person at a research conference in November. According to the Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management, the fellowship is designed to support professionals from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds who have received their master’s or doctoral degrees in the past five years.

The fellowship comes as two other high-profile fellowships González received last year are wrapping up: the American Association of Hispanics in Higher Education, Incorporated Faculty Fellowship and the Education Policy Fellowship Program Fellowship.

For González, who teaches in Fresno State’s Higher Education Administration and Leadership (HEAL) program, these national fellowships in equity and inclusion carry significance as they honor research grounded in their own journey through higher education and the experiences of other family members.
